Overall, patients with CXPA have a poor prognosis. Pleural effusion involved by CXPA is precedingly rare, compared to that common dissemination from pulmonary or mammary origin. Here we reported a metastatic CXPA in pleural effusion from an 82-year-old male. The clinical presentation, cytological morphology, and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis.
