Pleural effusions in patients with multiple myeloma result from different aetiologies, each requiring a different type of treatment. Due to the important therapeutic and prognostic implications of finding a myelomatous pleural effusion, diagnostic throracocentesis with careful cytological examination and protein electrophoresis with immunofixation should be performed whenever possible. Supplemental studies with flow cytometry and cytogenetics should also be considered.
