Meig’s Syndrome - A Diagnostic Dilemma
Journal Title: GUJARAT CANCER SOCIETY RESEARCH JOURNAL - Year 2014, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Meig’s syndrome is a benign condition with 100% cure rates. However this condition mimics advanced ovarian malignancy, causing diagnostic dilemma to the treating doctor. It is a rare condition and seen only in 1% cases of ovarian fibroma. The raised CA125 levels seen in our set of cases add to the diagnostic dilemma. Post operatively both ascites and pleural effusion in both our patients resolved completely. Follow up of both the patients is uneventful till date. Thus showing life expectancy after surgical removal of the tumor mirrors that of the general population.
