| | serous-sanguineous fluid / exudative effusion | Explanation:
The first option is more literal and alludes to the presence of both a seric fluid and some blood in the syringe of thoracocenthesis.
"Exudative effusion" is a bit more jargon to say that the fluid contains not only serum (in which case it would be a trasudate) but also some proteins (obvious because blood is visible and blood contins proteins). Proteic effusions are "exudates".
Extramedullary hematopoiesis manifesting as a symptomatic pleural effusion. Mayo Clinic Proceedings. 70(12):1161-4, 1995
Abstract
The occurrence of extramedullary hematopoiesis in the pleura is rare and is usually asymptomatic. It is generally diagnosed on postmortem examination. Herein we describe a 61-year-old woman with agnogenic myeloid metaplasia who sought medical assessment because of progressive dyspnea. Thoracentesis yielded *sanguineous fluid* with 10% myeloblasts. A 99mTc bone marrow scan demonstrated increased tracer activity throughout both lungs, an outcome consistent with extramedullary hematopoiesis.......

Refractory hydrothorax in primary biliary cirrhosis: successful treatment
with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt.
Abstract
HISTORY AND CLINICAL FINDINGS: A 55-year-old woman with known primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) was hospitalized because of increasing dyspnoea. A year before she had for the first time experienced a right-sided pleural effusion which had to be drained every 4 weeks. Physical examination revealed dullness on percussion and greatly decreased breath sounds on auscultation over the entire right thorax. In addition there were signs of moderate ascites and leg oedema. INVESTIGATIONS: Chest radiograph showed a homogeneous shadowing of the right thorax without mediastinal shift. Diagnostic thoracocentesis produced a *serous effusion*, a transudate on chemical analysis, comparable to the composition of the ascitic fluid…..

I could only find the word \"serohematic\" in a few English articles authored by non-English speaking doctors... (Spanish or French origin) |

22 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +2 | serohematic effusion
Explanation:
would be my suggestion.
e.g.:
"The case of a 21 year-old male patient whose first clinical manifestations were caused by a torpid serohematic pleural effusion which led to the initial diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and then to that of non-Hodgkin lymphoma due to its galloping evolution as a result of multiple extranodal compromise, infiltration of the central nervous system, and an early leukemic stage, is described. He died in the Intensive Care Unit of this hospital as a result of a great organic deterioration and a refractory terminal acute heart failure associated to respiratory sepsis, which did not improve in spite of the applied therapeutic measures and the vasoactive support."
HTH,
Serge L.
