Abstract

Serous effusions, including pleural, abdominal and pericardial effusions, are complications of lymphoma. Among these types, pleural effusions are the most common to be observed. However, the involvement of the abdominal or pericardial cavity is rare. An impairment of the lymphatic drainage and direct infiltration have been identified to play significant roles in effusion formation. Multiple techniques, including cytological exams, immunochemistry and cytogenetics, have been applied in the clinic to access the qualities of the effusions and to attain a fast and precise diagnosis. Serous effusions are associated with a poor outcome for patients with lymphoma. The present study describes the case of a 28‑year‑old male patient with aggressive non‑Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) involving pleural and abdominal chylous effusions.
