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.
