Interesting study out of the UK.  Four women with pleural effusions were determined to have malignancies.  The authors conclude:

“The diagnosis of malignant pleural mesotheliomas should be actively
considered in all patients presenting with effusion relating to
previous malignancies regardless of asbestos history.”
