An unusual amount of fluid around the lung is called a pleural effusion. Even though your pleural effusion may need to be drained, your doctor may likely target the treatment at the underlying medical condition. The pleura is a flimsy layer that lines the outer layer of your lungs and within your chest wall. Fluid builds up in the pleural space between the layers when you have a pleural effusion.
