A Spanish man is diagnosed with a non-small cell lung cancer with pleural extension. A chemotherapy combining cisplatin and gemcitabine allows obtaining an excellent partial remission. A contralateral pleural effusion is noted in a context of weight loss and fever. The differential diagnosis of pleural effusion is discussed.
