Article Abstract
Meigs syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the presence of a benign fibroma of the ovary, ascites, and pleural effusion. It is very uncommon and the diagnosis is made with difficulty based on symptoms that usually mimic disseminated malignancy or tuberculosis. Although it is a benign and treatable condition, extreme presentations of late-stage diseases occur with high mortality and morbidity rates. We report on a case of a 13-year-old female presenting with misdiagnosed late-stage Meigs Syndrome in a low-resource setting.

An exceptional case of sudden death due to pseudo-Meigs syndrome.

Pseudo-Meigs syndrome is a rare clinical entity characterized by the triad of ascites, pleural effusion, and a benign pelvic tumor other than an ovarian fibroma. Although typically considered benign and reversible following tumor removal, the syndrome can result in severe life-threatening compromise if unrecognized or untreated. Unlike the classical Meigs syndrome, which has occasionally been associated with fatal outcomes, no deaths related to pseudo-Meigs syndrome due to benign tumors have been previously reported.

Introduction: Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is described as the triad of a pleural effusion, ascites, and pelvic or abdominal tumor that is not an ovarian fibroma or thecoma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported pediatric case of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome secondary to a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCT).

Sex cord-stromal tumors are rare ovarian neoplasms, with fibromas comprising approximately 4% and thecomas accounting for 0.5-1% of all ovarian tumors. The occurrence of these tumors outside the ovaries is exceptionally rare and diagnostically challenging, often mimicking malignancy when associated with ascites, elevated CA-125 levels, or Meigs-like syndrome.

A 4-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was evaluated for a three-day history of dyspnea and lethargy. Abdominal ultrasonography and thoracic radiographs revealed the presence of abdominal and pleural effusions, along with both uterine horns and a rounded mass in the pelvic abdomen. Both effusions were compatible with modified transudates rich in protein and negative for infectious disease.
