“…At diagnosis, pleural effusions are rare in Hodgkin's disease but not infrequent in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [14][15][16]. Pleural effusions can be found in previously untreated patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, even in the absence of detectable intrathoracic lymphadenopathy, and may be the only radiographic manifestation of the disease [15].…”

Pleural effusions associated with malignancy (either malignant or paramalignant) pose diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas for the clinician. This article reviews the common causes of malignant and paramalignant pleural effusions, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, chest radiography, pleural fluid characteristics, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.Talc, used either by poudrage or slurry, is the most effective agent used for pleurodesis. Talc, which needs to be sterilized, has no clinically important immediate, short-term or long-term adverse effects.

“…The cause of early effusions in lymphoma is unknown, but because early effusions often resolve after mediastinal radiation, it suggests that lymphatic obstruction plays a major role in the pathogenesis (9). As Hodgkin's disease progresses, the incidence of pleural effusions increases and approaches 30070 in some series (10) and 30 to 60070 at postmortem (11)(12)(13).…”

Pleural disease both before and after organ transplantation has important implications. Pleural effusions are common in candidates for heart, liver, and kidney transplantation. A thoracentesis is not mandatory in these patients, but it should be performed if clinical or radiologic features suggest that the effusion is not the result of organ failure. Posttransplant pleural infections and pleural PTLD relate to the level and duration of immunosuppression and are probably not organ-specific. Organ-specific pleural complications include pleural effusion from hepatic venoocclusive disease, spontaneous pneumothorax associated with obstructive airway disease from chronic GVHD after bone marrow transplantation, and early pleural effusion from urinothorax and late effusion from perirenal lymphocele years after kidney transplantation. The treatment of pleural disease in potential lung transplant candidates should minimize the extent of pleurodesis. Pleural effusions are expected sequelae after lung transplantation, and they may be harbingers of acute rejection. Interpleural communication, an expected finding after heart-lung transplantation or double-lung transplantation with a "clamshell" incision, has therapeutic implications.

“…In this series 36% of patients had lung involvement at presentation. This figure is considerably higher than the 4 4% found by Peckham (1972) and nil noted by Fisher et al (1962). These series are from highly specialised units serving areas within a large city.…”
