[Rheumatoid pleurisy with cholesterol pleural effusion. A single case. Literature review (author's transl)].

Six observations of rheumatoid pleurisy with cholesterol pleural effusion were found in the literature. This new case confirms this biological peculiarity of rheumatoid pleurisies and the authors insist on the existence of acute pleurisies with cholesterol pleural effusion.
