Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is common in lung cancer. We report a case of highly viscous recurrent MPE associated with lung cancer. The viscosity prohibited gravity-dependent drainage initially with a 6-Fr aspiration catheter and subsequently with a 12-Fr intercostal drain. The effusion was eve...
