摘要：

Dissemination of lymphomas in serous effusions is quite common. Cytology aims to contribute in the clinical management of haematologic patients, providing an accurate and rapid diagnosis. Ancillary techniques such as immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry are essential to classify the lymphoma entity. Comprehensive awareness of the clinical picture and previous histologic documentation are essential for a lymphomatous effusion diagnosis. We report an unusual case of monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma, formerly known as enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) type II, spreading in the pleural cavity. Cell morphology and immunohistochemistry of the pleural fluid were consistent with the histology of a jejunal tumor previously excised. Flow cytometry data were consistent, though not pathognomonic for the disease. Serous effusions with evidence of lymphoma involvement should be thoroughly examined with cytology and adjuvant techniques to provide diagnosis for proper therapeutic strategies.
