BackgroundThe aim of this study is to investigate similitudis and differences between the Meigs' syndrome and Meigs' pseudosyndrom. The Meigs' syndrome is an uncommon disease that is characterized by benign ovarian tumor, ascites and pleural effusion. The Meigs' pseudosyndrom is a serious disease that is characterized by malignant ovarian tumor, ascites, pleural effusion.MethodsWe have examined two cases: a case of Meigs' syndrome that is characterized by vomit, abdominal pain, ascites, height serum Ca 125 level; a case of Meigs' pseudosyndrom that is characterized by ovarian adenocarcinoma that is diagnosticated owing to ascites and pleural effusion.ConclusionsThis study suggest that the surgical therapy have a very important role for the complete remission of the disease in the Meigs' syndrome and for the remission of ascites and pleural effusion in the Meigs' pseudosyndrom.
