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.
