Abstract
Meigs Syndrome is a clinical entity related to a fibroma-like ovarian tumor together with ascites and pleural effusion that resolves after its extraction.
A 33-year-old female with polycystic ovarian syndrome has had abnormal uterine bleeding, early satiety and progressive dyspnea for a year. An ultrasound was performed, revealing a right adnexal mass with characteristics suggestive of malignancy; Chest x-ray showing pleural effusion with negative cytological analysis for malignant cells. The tumor is removed where the hemorrhagic ascites fluid is found.
Histopathology shows granulosa cell tumor (GCT) which is an estrogen-secreting tumor, classified as a low-grade malignancy being one of the most common of stromal cell tumor.
Meigs syndrome and granulosa cell tumor are rare pathologies of which no coexisting cases have been reported in our country.
