Diagnostic procedure in patients with neoplasm and malignant pleural effusion: Our experience

Original language description

Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a serious diagnostic problem. The proper diagnosis of the cause of the effusion allows the appropriate treatment to be applied. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of diagnostic procedures in patients with MPE. Material and methods: Between January 1996 and June 2008, 237 patients (ages 23-84) were diagnosed with and treated for MPE in the Department of Thoracic Surgery. They belonged to the following groups: Group I: 121 (51.1%) patients with a previously diagnosed neoplasm, when the MPE occurred in the course of disease; 116 (48.9%) patients required invasive diagnostic methods, because of the lack of a clearly established cause of pleural effusion. These patients underwent either thoracoscopy (videothoracoscopy) (group II, n = 108) or diagnostic thoracotomy (group III, n = 8). Results: There were 65 patients with lung cancer, 26 with breast cancer, 6 with ovarian cancer, 6 with lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease, 1 with mesothelioma pleu
