If you want to visualize it in rviz, one of most convenient way is to use pcd_to_pointcloud tool.

 $ rosrun pcl_ros pcd_to_pointcloud <file.pcd> [ <interval> ]

<'file.pcd> is the (required) file name to read.

<'interval> is the (optional) number of seconds to sleep between messages. If <interval> is zero or not specified the message is published once.
