    Malignant pleural effusion is defined as the accumulation of a significant amount of fluid in the pleural space accompanied by malignant cells or tumor tissue. The majority of malignant pleural effusions are caused by metastatic disease, most commonly from lung cancer in men and breast cancer in women. The diagnostic approach involves clinical manifestation, imaging, diagnostic thoracentesis, closed pleural biopsy, and potentially pleuroscopy or VATS to diagnose the condition.
