Abstract
Meigs’syndrome is defined as a hydrothorax with ascites and benign ovarian tumor, both of which resolve on removal of the tumor. Pseudo-Meigs’syndrome or atypical Meigs’syndrome occurs when a pelvic mass other than an ovarian fibroma is present with hydrothorax and ascites. Both these syndromes should be nevertheless considered in women who present hydrothorax and ascites. This case concerns a 50-year-old woman who presented a pseudo-Meigs’syndrome (Hydrothorax and uterine leiomyoma). The distinction between these two syndrom is useless, because tumour removal is the only treatment.
