Rare Variant of Meigs Syndrome Associated with Pericardial Effusion

Abstract

Meigs syndrome is an uncommon entity associated with benign ovarian tumor, pleural effusion, and ascites. Its association with pericardial effusion is extremely rare. We report a case of Meigs syndrome associated with recurrent pericardial effusion that resolved after surgical resection of the ovarian tumor. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
