We describe a case of rheumatoid arthritis complicated by unilateral adhesive pleurisy and associated with bloody and cholesterol effusion in a 47-year-old man. Our case emphasizes that the diagnostician needs to consider rheumatoid disease in a differential diagnosis of bloody pleural effusion in patients with associated joint disease. Adequate histologic confirmation of the underlying pathology is required for definite diagnosis.
我们描述了一例47岁男性类风湿性关节炎合并单侧粘连性胸膜炎，并伴有血性和胆固醇性胸腔积液的病例。我们的病例强调，诊断医生在对伴有关节疾病的患者血性胸腔积液进行鉴别诊断时需要考虑类风湿疾病。明确诊断需要对潜在病理进行充分的组织学确认。
