Abstract:
Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome consists of pleural effusion, ascites, and benign tumors of the ovary other than fibromas. These benign tumors include those of the fallopian tube or uterus and mature teratomas, struma ovarii, and ovarian leiomyomas. Although uterine leiomyomas are frequent gynecological finding, they are rarely cause pseudo-Meigs' syndrome with elevated serum CA 125 levels. A case of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome associated with subserosal leiomyoma is presented with a brief review of literatures.
