Abstract

Meigs Syndrome is a rare condition characterised by Ovarian fibroma, ascites and pleural effusion. Pseudo Meigs is called so because it mimics Meigs but occurs with tumours other than fibromas. The objective of this case report is to shed light on the diverse presentations of Ovarian carcinomas. We herein report a rare case of Pseudo Meigs syndrome in a 32-year-old female patient parity one and no miscarriage and who had right-sided ovarian mass, gross ascites and right-sided pleural effusion with cancer antigen 125 value of 518.5 IU/L. Clinical Diagnosis was that of Meigs Syndrome. The patient underwent laparotomy for surgical staging and large right-sided ovarian mass with draining of nine litres of ascitic fluid and total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The histopathology report showed that it was Endometroid Adenocarcinoma FIGO Grade 3.
