The Case Continues
Results of molecular analysis from the pleural fluid cell block were unchanged compared with the primary and metastatic lung parenchymal lesions. Three weeks after thoracentesis, the patient was hospitalized for recurrent dyspnea and right-sided effusion. In the absence of other findings, the recurrent effusion was felt to have caused her shortness of breath.
