Updates to Case Attributes
Fluid was sent for analysis revealing exudative, lymphocyte predominant pleural fluid. Cytology consistent primary lung cancer. Patient
The patient was discharged from the ICU after placement of pleurex chest tube as the pleural effusion continued to re-accumulate at a fast rate. She was instructed to follow-up with the oncologist who had met with the patient while in the hospital. Of note, the patient, a non-smoker, was in her usual state of health just a month prior to hospital admission. This was the first respiratory problem she had had in her life, and she left the hospital with the diagnosis of primary lung carcinoma.
