Abstract

Pleural effusions in patients with lymphoma that are assumed to be related to malignancy are attributed to either lymphatic obstruction by tumour with resultant decreased clearance of pleural fluid, or direct tumour involvement of the pleura. The purpose of our study was to determine how often pleural or extrapleural disease was detected by computed tomography (CT) of patients with pleural effusions and primary or recurrent lymphoma.
