Pleural fluid, Cytospin preparation, 22-week old fetus, intra-uterine aspiration: predominance of lymphocytes
This is the demonstration of the cytological findings in a fetal pleural fluid. This case shows a predominance of lymphocytes, most of them small mature looking, a few macrophages and monocytes. Scarce mesothelial cells. The mother was discharged with the diagnosis of nonimmune hydrops fetalis, before we could do additional studies.
