ABSTRACT

Meigs' syndrome is defined as a hydrothorax with ascites and a pelvic tumor, the condition resolves by itself with the removal of the mass. Pseudo Meig’s Syndrome refers to secondary metastasis to ovary presenting with hydrothorax. Diagnosis a case of pseudo meig’s is challenging as well as rewarding because removal of tumour not only gives symptomatic relief to the patient but may also prolong the survival time. A krukenburg tumour is an ovarian metastasis from gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma and it usually is suggestive of terminal disease. We present a case report from our Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences and Research which presented as pain abdomen since a year and upon investigations turned out to be a rare case of Pseudo Meig’s Syndrome due to Krukenburg Tumour with Ascites and Hydrothorax.

Keywords: Meig’s syndrome, Pseudo meig’s syndrome, abdominal pain, ascites, pelvic tumor, metastasis
