[Demons-Meigs syndrome: information on a new case and review of the literature]
Abstract
Demons-Meigs syndrome is a benign tumor of the ovary. It is very rare and its physiopathology remains obscure. We report a case of Demons-Meigs syndrome in a woman aged 51 years. It was discovered following a right pleural effusion syndrome with ascites and an abdominopelvic mass. Rate of serum CA 125 was 412IU/mL. Surgical exploration revealed ascites of one litre with no suspicious peritoneal lesion and an ovarian fibrothecoma of 70 mm. There were no post-operative complications and three months later, the level of CA 125 was negative with a total drainage of effusions.
