Meigs syndrome is charakterised by hydrothorax and ascites that are resolved after the tumour is removed in the presence of solid benign ovarian tumours. Hydrothorax and pelvic tumour-related ascites other than those identified in Meigs syndrome are defined as pseudo-meigs syndroma. Diagnosed with meigs syndrome are the triad of ovarian fibroma, ascites and pleural outbreaks.
A 45-year-old woman has one year of abdominal distention and pain, and one month of respiration. During the clinical evaluations and investigations, hydrothorax and ascites were found, as well as a huge pelvic tumour palpable abdominally, as well as another vaginally palpable mass. Thoracocentesis and paracentesis of the abdomen were performed for symptomatic relief. There has been an exploratory laparotomy. Total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy have been performed.
The immediate postoperative resolution of hydrothorax and
ascites has been verified in pseudo-meigs syndrome.
After a histopathological examination the mass was diagnosed as an ovarian,
serious, boundary tumour.
