Abstract EN
Background.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has been widely used to treat renal stones.
The procedure is relatively safe with minor complications.
Case.
The patient is a 32-year-old man who presented with left sided pleural effusion after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
Results.
The pleural effusion study revealed an exudative fluid rich in eosinophils (30%).
So, the diagnosis of eosinophilic pleural effusion as a complication of lithotripsy was made.
Conclusion.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should be regarded as an etiology of unexplained eosinophilic pleural effusion after this procedure.
