Abstract:
Meigs' sydrome is a relatively uncommon and the unusual condition of ascites and fluid in the chest associated with benign and solid tumors of the ovary with the gross appearance of a fibroma. The mechanism of this syndrome is not completely understood, but various lymphatics through the diaphragm seem the likely route for ascitic fluid into the chest. We present a case of Meigs' syndrome associated with fibrothecoma and elevate CA 125 with the brief review of literature.
