Pleural effusion is a rare complication of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. When it occurs, traditional investigation techniques may not always be successful. The flow cytometry is a fast and precise diagnostic technique, which can be helpful in the diagnosis of pleural localization of hematological diseases. We present a case report of a pleural localization of Waldenström macroglobulinaemia detected by flow cytometry.
