Study of the Relationship between Malignant Pleural Effusion and Common Causing Tumors

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Malignant pleural effusion is one of the most important causes of pleural effusion. It can sometimes be difficult to diagnose a malignant effusion due to the uncertainties of biopsy determination of a pleural result. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features of malignant pleural effusion. Methods: A retrospective study on patients with malignant pleural effusion at Al-Mujtahid Hospital and Ibn Al-Nafis from December 2021 to June 2022. Results: Of the 188 patients, admitted with a story, 40.4% were adult patients, adults, adults, adults, and girls. The mean age of the patients was 56 years. Mount infected by 51.1%. And 12.8% had the right-sided patients with 57.4%, and the left-sided patients had the disease. Tumor effusions were treated 63%, pleurisy 13%, and chest blasting 24.1%. Effusion analysis of 91.5% exudate pattern, 8.5% transudate pattern, presence of malignant cells at 10.6%. The demographic dialogue of patients and adjacent factors was associated with both effusion and primary tumor. (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that there are issues related to pleural effusion. Programs should aim at using modern methods of diagnosing and treating malignant pleural effusion as it has an important role in determining the prognosis.
