Abstract
Meigs' syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the presence of a benign broma of the ovary, ascites and pleural effusion. When either of ascites or pleural effusion is associated with the broma it is termed pseudo-Meigs' syndrome. Though bromas are the most common benign solid tumours of the ovary, they rarely present in clinical practice and diagnosis is made difcult by symptoms that usually mimic disseminated malignancy. The gold standard of treatment is laparotomy, denitive diagnosis is by histology, and by denition of the syndrome, the symptoms resolve after removal of the tumour and the patients become asymptomatic. We present a patient with a giant ovarian broma with associated pseudo Meigs syndrome who was successfully managed without any complications.
