Abstract

Meigs’ syndrome is rare. It is described as a triad of solid benign ovarian tumor, ascites, and

pleural effusion that resolve after tumor resection.

We present a case of a 36-year-old Bahraini female who presented with signs and symptoms of

acute pelvic pain and adnexal torsion. She had left ovarian fibrothecoma with elevated CA125,

moderate ascites and right-sided pleural effusion.
