Pleural effusion is an entity perpetually encountered by physicians, having a panorama of etiologies. The occurrence of pleural effusion in a patient with malignancy adds multiple perspectives to the overall status of the patient in terms of symptomatology, staging, management and prognosis. Although effusion encountered in association with malignancies are conventionally exudative, transudative effusion can also manifest in certain singular circumstances. This conception is crucial to avoid misjudgments and delay in diagnosis. We hereby report an intriguing case of a transudative hemorrhagic pleural effusion in a patient with malignancy.
