Abstract
Malignant pleural effusions are uncommon in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). We report a case of this in an elderly female patient. Her previous history of ductal breast carcinoma, ovarian serous carcinoma, and non-small cell lung carcinoma prompted several possible differential diagnoses. We discuss the importance of cytology specimens in the diagnosis of lung carcinomas, and the cytomorphological features of SCLC with their nuances and subtleties.
期刊介绍：
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
