Autopsy of a Patient with Hepatic Pleural Effusion Complicated by Pleurisy Associated with Sjögren's Syndrome: A Case Report.

The pleural effusion was transudative and it was diagnosed to be hepatic pleural effusion. Thoracic drainage was continued, but the amount of pleural fluid drainage did not decrease.
