Pleural fluid cytology did not reveal malignant cells. Oophorectomy, performed as a palliative procedure, was followed by rapid resolution of the pleural effusion and ascites. The patient was diagnosed with pseudo-Meigs' syndrome, and underwent chemotherapy followed by partial gastrectomy. At the last follow-up, 84 mo following oophorectomy, she was alive, and free of disease recurrence, despite not receiving any further treatment. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome should be considered in patients with bilateral ovarian tumors, ascites and pleural effusion, and treatment such as oophorectomy may result in symptomatic improvement and better prognosis in similar patients.展开更多
