We present the case of a 49 years-old female treated 10 years ago for a breast cancer (mastectomy followed by radio- and chemotherapy), referred to our unit for a recurrent pleural effusion with no response to medical treatment (pleural liquid - total proteins 4,1 g%, glucose 100 mg%, LDH 493 U/l, abundant cellularity with 30% eosinophils but no obvious neoplastic cells). The CT examination showed a loculated pleural effusion and a thickened irregular pleura, raising the suspicion of malignancy. Intraoperatively we found a loculated effusion - Fraser Gourd decortication and 7 subpleural pulmonary tumors with a diameter between 0,5 and 5 cm which we considered to be pulmonary metastases and performed non-anatomical resections with pulmonary reconstruction.
