Meigs syndrome, characterized by ascites and pleural effusion, is linked to benign ovarian fibroma-like tumors. Surgical removal of the tumor effectively resolved these effusions, highlighting a treatable cause for such conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Meigs syndrome is a rare condition involving benign ovarian tumors, ascites, and pleural effusion.
  • It is crucial to differentiate Meigs syndrome from malignant conditions presenting with similar symptoms.

Observation:

  • A case of Meigs syndrome associated with a fibroma-like benign ovarian tumor is presented.
  • The patient exhibited significant ascites and pleural effusion.

Findings:

  • Surgical extirpation of the ovarian tumor was performed.
  • Post-operative resolution of both ascites and pleural effusion was observed, confirming the diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering Meigs syndrome in patients with unexplained ascites and pleural effusion.
