Charcot-Leyden crystals have rarely been reported in serous fluids. We present eight examples of Charcot-Leyden crystals, all found in eosinophilic pleural effusions. The crystals were found in toluidine blue-stained wet films of pleural fluid after either the fluid or the wet film had stood for at least 24 hours at 4 C.
