Patients with lung, pleural or mediastinal tumors were excluded. Patients with pleural biopsy specimens obtained by VATS were selected to ensure that the effusion had been adequately investigated. Those with a specific histopathological diagnosis received appropriate treatment. We identified 61 patients with no specific diagnosis; histopathological findings from their pleural specimens were interpreted as acute and chronic inflammation or fibrosis of varying degrees. Of these patients, 53 with available follow-up data were included from the study. These 53 participants were examined in our clinic regularly, and pleural fluid and specimens were obtained and re-examined when necessary. Data on the prognosis of these patients during follow-up and their latest diagnoses were recorded in patient files and entered into the hospital's electronic database. This study was performed in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Ethics Committee of the Yedikule Chest Diseases and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital. Following ethics committee approval, the data obtained during the initial examination of these patients and their follow-up and imaging data were retrieved. Variables were analyzed retrospectively.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The volume of pleural effusion was categorized according to whether the fluid occupied less or more than 50% of the hemithorax, as determined from chest X-rays taken during the initial examination.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Fluid samples were obtained by diagnostic thoracentesis from all patients and analyzed. Biochemical parameters included lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), protein, albumin, pH and adenosine deaminase, and cells in fluid samples were counted and typed. Cytological examination of fluids from all patients was performed. The fluid specimens of some patients were tested for <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Mycobacterium tuberculosis</span> (direct microscopy and specific culture). Closed pleural biopsy using an Abram's needle was performed in 27 patients; pathology results reported “nonspecific pleuritis.”</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">VATS was performed in the operating room under general anesthesia by thoracic surgeons experienced in VATS procedures. Incision points were determined according to the location of the fluid and the condition of the pleura and lungs. Parietal pleura samples were obtained from a region thought to be diseased.

In one patient, a diagnosis of tuberculosis-related effusion was given when uterine and peritoneal tuberculosis were found and pleural fluid regressed following anti-tuberculosis therapy. Patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism showed no pathology on computed tomography angiography (which was required prior to VATS), but an embolism was identified in subsequent examinations. One patient had intense eosinophilic infiltration in the pleural biopsy sample, leading to a diagnosis of Churg–Strauss syndrome in view of paranasal sinus anomaly, eosinophilia in peripheral blood, and a history of asthma. In this patient, there was no recurrence of effusion after systemic corticosteroid therapy. Fluid re-accumulation after VATS was seen in another patient, but this was resolved after valproic acid which the patient had been using was discontinued. The diagnosis of this patient was drug-induced effusion.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In 2 patients, diagnosis was malignant mesothelioma. After their initial VATS procedures, re-accumulation of effusion was observed.

In this case, the conclusion that effusion does not have a specific cause may not always be correct. Some studies have reported that 25–91% of undiagnosed patients have no underlying disease.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> However, in our study, a specific disease causing effusion was identified during follow-up in approximately half of the undiagnosed patients with pleural effusion (26/53 patients, 49%). The majority of diseases diagnosed during follow-up were benign. These results are in line with previous reports,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7–9</span></a> in which benign diseases, mainly heart failure and parapneumonic effusion, were the most frequently identified causes of pleural effusion.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0150"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> Although pleural effusion associated with heart failure is expected to be transudative, the fluid may become exudative in patients receiving diuretics, since these compounds concentrate proteins and other components of pleural transudates in heart failure patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> No histological changes were observed in the pleura of these patients, so specific disease findings in VATS pleural biopsy samples would be unlikely. An invasive diagnostic procedure, such as that performed in our study, is indicated in cases where malignancy cannot be excluded clinically and radiologically.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> As in some other cases of undiagnosed effusion, the underlying cause does not always lead to specific histopathological changes in the pleura itself. For example, only nonspecific pleuritis can be detected in the biopsy samples of patients with parapneumonic effusion. Specific changes in the pleura are not expected in cases of pulmonary embolism, Churg–Strauss syndrome (although eosinophilic inflammation in the subpleural and interlobular connective tissue and lymphatic luminal dilation have been reported in Churg–Strauss syndrome biopsy specimens<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12,13</span></a>) or drug-related effusion. In the case of tuberculosis peritonitis, which in this study was found to be a cause of effusion, the reaction occurring in the pleura may cause effusion in the absence of granulomatous inflammation.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0175"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> In such cases, biopsy samples obtained by VATS are not expected to be diagnostic. Thus, the diagnosis of “nonspecific pleuritis” obtained using VATS in these patients should not be considered a false-negative.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">When the diagnoses obtained in this study during follow-up were reviewed, diseases other than malignant mesothelioma could not be recognized by examining the pleural biopsy samples. Only malignant mesothelioma was encountered as a cause of histological impairment in the pleura. The false-negative rate of VATS for malignant mesothelioma was 3.7%.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Subsequent diagnosis of malignant disease in patients with undiagnosed effusion has been reported in up to 25.5% of cases.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0180"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a> In contemporary studies, the frequency of malignant disease during follow-up in patients lacking a specific diagnosis despite VATS is between 2.1%<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> and 5%.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0150"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a></p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Malignant mesothelioma is the malignancy most frequently diagnosed during follow-up of patients with undiagnosed pleural effusion.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0145"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8,9,16,17</span></a> In pleural malignant mesothelioma, pleural involvement is uniform, but the appearance of the pleura varies. The typical appearance includes extensive macronodules in the pleura. However, in some patients, gross pleural findings may appear completely normal. Extensive fibrosis may be predominant in other patients. These factors can complicate the diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma by VATS<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0195"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18,19</span></a> and may explain why VATS was not diagnostic for patients with malignant mesothelioma in our series.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">When we reviewed the factors that increased the likelihood of underlying malignant disease in patients with pleural effusion who could not be diagnosed despite undergoing invasive interventions including VATS, we found that the appearance of the pleural fluid was not significant. Malignant diseases of the pleura generally result in hemorrhagic effusion.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0205"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> In our series, the underlying disease in patients with hemorrhagic pleural effusion was heart failure in 2 patients and parapneumonic effusion in 5. In contrast, fluid with a serous appearance does not rule out malignant disease. Nor does biochemical analysis of the fluid indicate malignant disease, as demonstrated here and in an earlier study.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> We found that recurrence of pleural effusion during follow-up might be associated with malignant disease. Although pleural effusion may re-accumulate for reasons other than the presence of malignant disease, recurrence during follow-up warrants additional examination or, if necessary, further VATS. Another risk factor for malignant disease is the presence of an initially large volume of pleural fluid. Such patients may require closer monitoring.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In this study, we found no cause for effusion in about half of patients, and no findings were made that suggested the presence of a specific disease in these patients during follow-up. Although these patients were classified as having idiopathic pleuritis, their actual condition was unknown, and this is a possible limitation of the study. Idiopathic pleuritis describes a situation in which the underlying disease is unknown, and this can be due to many factors. Some patients may present several difficult-to-identify causes of effusion, such as connective tissue diseases and viral or mycoplasma infections,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> as we observed in some of our cases.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion, no specific disease could be diagnosed in a number of patients despite invasive interventions including VATS. The diagnosis in most patients with EPE is benign disease. However, malignant disease is also a possibility, and these patients should be closely monitored. The characteristics of pleural fluid should not be used as a criterion to discontinue follow-up. The likelihood of malignant disease increases in the presence of effusion that occupies more than half of the hemithorax at the time of initial examination, and that re-accumulates during follow-up. Repetition pleural sampling should be considered in such patients.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0090">Authors’ Contributions</span><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">GG made substantial contributions to conception and design, data collection and drafting the manuscript.</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">AO performed data collection and analysis.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">MZG performed data collection, contributed to study conception and design, and statistical analysis.</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">AS contributed to study design and statistical analysis.</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">ID performed data collection and analysis.</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">GC performed data collection and analysis.</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">VY performed data collection and analysis.</p><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">SA made substantial contributions to conception and design.</p></span><span id="sec0035" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0095">Conflict of Interest</span><p id="par0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">All the authors declare that they have no financial relationship with any biotechnological, manufacturer or pharmaceutical company, or any other commercial entity that has an interest in the subject matter or materials discussed in the manuscript.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:12 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres587066" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" "titulo" => "Methods" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0020" "titulo" => "Conclusion" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec602843" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres587065" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0025" "titulo" => "Introducción" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0030" "titulo" => "Métodos" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0035" "titulo" => "Resultados" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0040" "titulo" => "Conclusión" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec602842" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Patients and Methods" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Statistics" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Results" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 9 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Authors’ Contributions" ] 10 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0035" "titulo" => "Conflict of Interest" ] 11 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2014-09-05" "fechaAceptado" => "2014-09-29" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec602843" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Exudative pleural effusion" 1 => "Nonspecific pleuritis" 2 => "Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery" 3 => "Idiopathic pleuritis" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec602842" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Derrame pleural exudativo" 1 => "Pleuritis inespecífica" 2 => "Cirugía toracoscópica videoasistida" 3 => "Pleuritis idiopática" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:3 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0010">Introduction</span><p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">The cause of exudative pleural effusion cannot be determined in some patients.
