Derrame pleural por colesterol é tipicamente o resultado de pleurisia de longa duração (pleurite) com níveis elevados de colesterol no espaço pleural. O encarceiramento pulmonar com espessamento das membranas pleurais parietais e viscerais é o achado radiográfico típico de um derrame por colesterol. A maioria dos casos de derrame pleural por colesterol é atribuída à pleurisia tuberculosa ou reumatoide.
