Pleural effusions rarely spontaneously resolve, and we document an instance where this phenomenon occurred. Here, we report a case of a 95-year old female who presented with a unilateral pleural effusion, diagnosed as secondary to a haematological malignancy [diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)] which resolved spontaneously.
