Abstract

GONCALVES, Ana Lopes  and  BLANCO, Miriam. Meigs Syndrome with elevated CA 125: case report. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.2, pp.113-115. ISSN 1646-5830.

Meigs syndrome is a rare medical entity. It is defined by a triad of a benign ovarian tumor, ascites and pleural effusion that resolves after tumor resection. This syndrome in known since the 19th century, but its pathophysiology it stills unclear. It has a progressive incidence from the third decade of life until the menopausal age. Its clinical importance relays on the fact that it is a benign condition with an excellent prognosis, contrary to other ovarian malignancy with peritoneal and pleural metastasis. The present article aims to report a clinical case of Meigs syndrome.
