Article Synopsis
- Pseudo-Meigs syndrome occurs when there's fluid accumulation in the abdomen and chest due to a pelvic tumor that's not a benign ovarian mass, and it often resolves after the tumor is surgically removed.
- A case involving a 37-year-old woman with a large uterine leiomyoma (fibroid) was initially misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer due to symptoms like abdominal swelling and anorexia.
- After surgical removal of the tumor and a small cyst in the ovary, the patient's symptoms improved, and she was diagnosed with pseudo-Meigs syndrome since there was no evidence of cancer, and her fluid levels returned to normal.
