On physical examination of abdomen, we suspected ascitis but after full investigation, ovarian tumor, ascitis and hydrothorax were confirmed. Thus, laparotomy was performed after diagnosis of Meigs syndrome. On laparotomy, left ovarian tumor and ascitis were observed. Hydrothorax and bilateral salpingoophorectomy of the ovary were done. Biopsy from omentum and puncture of ascitis fluid was done. The fluid was negative for malignancy and ovarian fibroma was reported by pathology lab. The patient was discharged and during three to four months after the operation, alleviation of hydrothorax in chest-X-ray was proved and there wasn’t any abnormal finding on abdominal or pelvic examinations.Z YousefiA TabatabaeiBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticleovarian tumorhydrothoraxascitismeigs syndromeMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 2, Iss 3, Pp 50-53 (2000)
