'''Meigs syndrome''' or '''Meigs' syndrome''' is the triad of benign [[ovarian tumor]] ([[fibroma]], [[thecoma]], [[cystadenoma]], or [[granulosa cell tumor]]), [[ascites]] and [[pleural effusion]].<ref>Lessnau K, Chavda R. Meigs syndrome. eMedicine.com. URL: [http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic1422.htm http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic1422.htm]. Accessed on: February 26, 2007.</ref>  It resolves after the resection of the tumor.  For reasons unknown, the pleural effusion is classically on the right side.  (Note: '''Meigs' Syndrome''' is not to be confused with '''[[Meige's syndrome]]''')
==[[Meigs syndrome epidemiology and demographics|Risk Factors]]==


Because of the presence of ascites and pleural effusions, the [[differential diagnosis]] includes [[liver failure]] ([[cirrhosis]]), [[congestive heart failure]], [[renal disease]]s, and [[metastatic tumor]]s to the peritoneal surfaces.  These entities must be clinically excluded.
==[[Meigs syndrome screening|Screening]]==


Treatment of Meigs' syndrome consists of [[thoracentesis]] and [[paracentesis]] to drain off the excess fluid, and unilateral [[oophorectomy|salpingo-oophorectomy]] to correct the underlying [[etiology]].
