Pseudo-Meigs Syndrome: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Meigs syndrome is defined as the co-existence of hydrothorax and ascites with solid benign ovarian tumours, which resolve on removal of the tumour. Hydrothorax and ascites associated with pelvic tumours other than described in Meig`s syndrome is called Pseudo-Meig`s syndrome. A 45 years old woman presented with abdominal distention and discomfort for one year and breathlessness for one month. Clinical examination and investigations showed hydrothorax, ascites and a large pelvic tumour palpable abdominally, another mass palpable per vaginally. Thoracocentesis and abdominal paracentesis done for symptomatic relief. Exploratory laparotomy done. Total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy done. Histo pathological examination of the mass confirmed it as an ovarian , serous, borderline tumour. The immediate postoperative resolution of hydrothorax and ascites confirmed the diagnosis of Pseudo-Meigs syndrome.
