Abstract

Pleural effusions are a common problem in patients with malignancies. It can present as an isolated entity or be associated with parenchymal lung abnormalities. Patients with hematological malignancies (HM) can present with pleural effusion at diagnosis or may develop it during the course of their underlying disease. Regarding etiology, various causes can stimulate the accumulation of pleural fluid: the disease itself, drug toxicity, radiotherapy, underlying infections, secondary malignancies, autoimmunity, extramedullary hematopoiesis and other complications. Thoracentesis is a simple, safe and well-tolerated procedure in patients with HM.
