Summary

Medical thoracoscopy (MT) under local anaesthetic and mild sedation, an established method in the diagnosis of pleural diseases. MT has an overall diagnostic yield above 90% for malignant pleural diseases and pleural tuberculosis. However, others who are diagnosed as fibrinous pleuritis make confusion in clinicians. Whether these patients are firmly followed or not ? The investigators do not know the answer of this question.

In this study the investigators aimed to investigate the outcome of the patients who are diagnosed as fibrinous pleuritis on MT biopsies.
