    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Meig's syndrome is a rare clinical condition characterized by ovarian fibroma, ascites, and pleural effusion.
    • Differentiating Meig's syndrome from malignant ovarian neoplasms is critical for appropriate patient management.

    Observation:

    • This report details a case of Meig's syndrome, emphasizing its rarity.
    • The patient presented with clinical signs suggestive of malignancy but lacked malignant cells.

    Findings:

    • Solid ovarian tumors associated with ascites and pleural effusion require thorough investigation.
    • Exploratory laparotomy is indicated in such cases, even when initial cytologic examination is negative for malignancy.

    Implications:

    • Early surgical intervention is vital for accurate diagnosis and treatment of Meig's syndrome.
