Usually, the effusion is the result of cardiac failure or of inflammatory or neoplastic conditions involving the pleura, lung or mediastinum. At times it is seen in association with tumors of the female pelvic organs and ascites (Meigs' syndrome).1Only occasionally has pleural effusion been attributed to cirrhosis of the liver.2, 3That its occurrence is only occasional in this disease is confirmed by the statistics of our...Bibliography1.
