Abstract
We report a case of a 74-year-old woman exhibiting the yellow nail syn drome in association with ipsilateral xanthogranulomatous pyelonephrit is. Nephrectomy resulted in complete resolution of the pleural effusio n and slow improvement of the yellow nails. This report calls attentio n to the renal-related pleural effusion, and to the thorough investiga tion needed for the yellow nail syndrome.
