Pseudo-Meigs syndrome secondary to uterine leiomyoma

Pseudo-Meigs syndrome is a condition characterised by the presence of ascites and pleural effusion associated with pelvic tumours other than fibroid-type ovarian tumours. Although the clinical picture simulates a neoplastic process, it is, however, a benign pathology that resolves after the removal of the tumour. Pseudo-Meigs syndrome secondary to uterine leiomyoma is a very rare combination, with less than 40 cases published in the literature. The case is presented of a 28 year-old woman attending the emergency department due to ascites and pleural effusion, with an elevated Ca-125 in the context of pseudo-Meigs syndrome that resolved after myomectomy.
