A rare case of Meigs syndrome in pregnancy

We present a case of Meigs syndrome in a 19 year old woman. We suspected metastatic ovarian cancer after she had presented in her first pregnancy at 12 weeks gestation. Ultrasound scan had confirmed a complex solid mass in the left adnexa, measuring 7cm x 8cm, a viable 12 weeks pregnancy and gross a...

description We present a case of Meigs syndrome in a 19 year old woman. We suspected metastatic ovarian cancer after she had presented in her first pregnancy at 12 weeks gestation. Ultrasound scan had confirmed a complex solid mass in the left adnexa, measuring 7cm x 8cm, a viable 12 weeks pregnancy and gross ascites. She had elevated Ca 125 and serum beta - HCG. She went on to have a spontaneous miscarriage while being worked up for exploratory laparotomy. At laparotomy, a left sided solid ovarian mass 8cm x 10cm with a smooth surface and intact capsule was found. This was later confirmed to be a fibrothecoma at histology. The patient went on to recover without any further reaccumulation of ascites.
