Abstract
Meigs' syndrome is a rare but well known syndrome defined as the association of ascites, pleural effusion and a benign solid ovarian tumor usually a fibroma in which tumor removal leads to complete resolution of pleural and peritoneal effusions. We report a case of Meigs' syndrome in a post menopausal woman which mimicked ovarian malignancy creating a diagnostic dilemma where the lady had complete recovery after surgery. Considering the good prognosis of Meigs' syndrome, prompt and accurate diagnosis is necessary to differentiate the syndrome from other ovarian malignancies.
