Abstract/Notes

Carcinoma of unknown primary sites is a clinical syndrome that represents many types of cancer. The mortality rate associate to this type of cancer is elevated and a rapid medical referral is required for patients presenting this condition. Pleural effusion may be the only visible sign. We report a case of pleural effusion secondary to a cancer of unknown primary site in a 60-year-old man that sought chiropractic care for radiating low back pain. The radiographic studies revealed a pleural effusion as one of the only significant finding. This article will address the clinical presentation, radiographic studies and a discussion on the radiographic detection of pleural effusion.


Les cancers de sites primaires inconnus représentent un syndrome clinique englobant de nombreux types de néoplasie. Le taux de mortalité associé à ce type de cancer est élevé et une consultation médicale rapide est nécessaire chez les patients présentant cette affection. Un épanchement pleural peut être le seul signe radiographique visible. Nous rapportons un cas d’épanchement pleural secondaire à un cancer de sites primaires inconnus chez un homme de 60 ans qui consultait en chiropratique pour une lombalgie irradiante. Les études radiographiques ont révélé un épanchement pleural comme une trouvaille fortuite. Nous avons inclus la présentation clinique, les examens radiographiques et une discussion sur la détection d’un épanchement pleural.
