Abstract
Meigs syndrome is a triad of benign ovarian neoplasia, ascites and pleural effusion (more commonly right side). Ascitis and pleural effusion may be predominating factors giving it a false impression of a malignant ovarian mass. Around 1% of all ovarian tumors are diagnosed as Meigs syndrome. There may be possibility of detecting raised CA‐125 in such tumors. We report a case of Meigs syndrome in a 56 year old women from lower socioeconomic status with complaints of shortness of breath, cough, ascites and significant weight loss for 6 months duration.
