CONTEXT The most common malignancies associated with malignant pleural effusions are carcinomas of the breast, lung, gastrointestinal tract, ovary and lymphomas. Primary peritoneal adenocarcinoma is a very rare cause of malignant pleural effusion. CASE REPORT A 72-year old female patient presented to us with shortness of breath for the last 2 months. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (C...
In a case of bilateral recurrent haemorrhagic pleural effusion due to asymptomatic pancreatitis the diagnosis was suggested by the presence of amylase in the pleural fluid when other possible causes had been excluded. Abdominal computed tomography and laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis. No communications could be seen between the peritoneal and pleural space at laparotomy.
Enzyme assays in a series of 38 cases of pleural effusion and in 10 cases of ascites associated with malignant lesions and of 24 of pleural effusion and of five of ascites of benign origin do not support the suggestion that the estimation of the fluid lactate dehydrogenase serum ratios in pleural and peritoneal effusions is of value in the diagnosis of malignancy.
burkitt's lymphoma is a lymphatic tumor classified as non-hodgkin lymphoma with small non cleaved cells. the disease has an incidence of two cases per million patients in north america, and usually present with an intra-abdominal tumor, or enlarged cervical lymph nodes. massive amounts of peritoneal and plural fluid is rarely seen in these patients. a three year-old girl presented with massive ...
that pleural exudate from patients with thoracic tumors may contain free tumor cells, some of which show mitotic figures. The study of the diagnostic significance of these cells has long been a part of exfoliative cytology (1, 10). How ever, our extensive search in the literature on cancer did not reveal any mention of experiments concerning the growth potentialities of free tumor cells floatin...
Acute hydrothorax after commencing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis A 53-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease developed dyspnea soon after commencing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for 1 day. Low drainage volume of dialysate (infusion 1500 ml and drainage 1100 ml) was also noted. The chest radiograph taken at emergency department showed massive right-sided pleu...

Although catamenial hemothorax compared to pneumothorax is a rarer clinical presentation of thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES), it is more commonly associated with diaphragmatic fenestrations. These openings may serve as entry portals for peritoneal fluid to access into the pleural space thereby perpetuating recurrent pleural effusion even after prior surgical pleurodesis. We report our expe...
In the United States, approximately one million patients each year develop a pleural effusion. Pleural effusions have classically been divided into transudative and exudative pleural effusions. A transudative pleural effusion occurs when the systemic factors influencing pleural fluid formation and reabsorption are altered so that pleural fluid accumulates; an exudative pleural effusion occurs w...
