Sumario: | Pseudo-Meigs syndrome combines a benign (all histological types are included) or malignant (primitive ovarian tumor or ovarian metastasis from another primitive tumor) ovarian tumor or a pelvic tumor (not necessarily ovarian or uterine, for example) with ascites and pleurisy (non-metastatic in the case of malignant tumor). These effusions disappear after tumor resection. A 37-year old female patient was admitted to our Department with dyspnoea and left intercostal pain. Radiological examinations showed left pleurisy of average abundance, ascites of low abundance and a pelvic mass. Surgical exploration showed ovarian tumor. After ablation, pleurisy solved spontaneously. Of particular interest, with regard to pneumology, is that this syndrome has occurred in a woman with pleurisy whose etiological assessment was negative and that abdominopelvic ultrasound allows diagnostic orientation. |
