Diagnosis

<p><strong><em><u>Pleural fluid, conventional cytology:</u></em></strong></p><ul><li><strong>Marked lymphocytic, negative for malignant cells. </strong></li><li><strong>Category II according to The International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytology, ISRSFC.</strong></li></ul><p><br></p><h5><strong>COMMENT:</strong></h5><h5>The cytological examination reveals a markedly cellular specimen dominated by a monotonous population of small, mature lymphocytes, with a notable scarcity of mesothelial cells and no evidence of epithelial malignancy or atypia. This pattern of lymphocytic predominance, particularly when mesothelial cells are sparse (less than 5%), is highly suggestive of tuberculous pleuritis, which should be considered the primary differential diagnosis in this clinical setting. Other etiologies for a lymphocytic exudate include chronic parapneumonic effusion, connective tissue disorders such as rheumatoid pleurisy, or lymphoproliferative disorders (lymphoma). Given the negative cytomorphology for carcinoma, ancillary testing including Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) levels, microbiologic cultures, and potentially flow cytometry is recommended to further characterize the effusion and exclude specific infectious or hematolymphoid processes.</h5>
