Características clínicas, diagnóstico e tratamento de mulher com síndrome de Meigs: relato de caso e revisão narrativa / Clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of a woman with Meigs syndrome: case report and narrative review

O objetivo deste estudo é descrever o caso de mulher com síndrome de Meigs e apresentar a revisão narrativa sobre o tema. Paciente do sexo feminino, 30 anos, nulípara, encaminhada ao hospital por massa anexial e história prévia de drenagem de derrame pleural. Evoluiu com instabilidade hemodinâmica por derrame pleural hipertensivo à direita, sendo submetida a drenagem torácica, com citologia do líquido negativa. Após, foi submetida a laparotomia: realizada salpingo-ooforectomia esquerda. A congelação e a análise histopatológica diagnosticaram fibroma ovariano. A citologia ascítica foi negativa. CA-125 elevado, presença de derrames cavitários e exame de imagem suspeito podem mimetizar um cenário de neoplasia maligna de ovário em estágio avançado. Entretanto, na síndrome de Meigs clássica, o tratamento é cirúrgico, sendo o diagnóstico obtido por meio da análise histopatológica do tumor ovariano. O manejo da síndrome de Meigs clássica é cirúrgico e, após a remoção do tumor, o derrame pleural e a ascite desaparecem.

To describe a case of Meigs syndrome and present a narrative review of the condition. Female patient, 30 years old, nulliparous, referred to the hospital due to an adnexal mass and a previous drainage of pleural effusion. She developed hemodynamic instability due to a hypertensive right pleural effusion being submitted to chest drainage, with negative cytology of the fluid. She underwent laparotomy: Left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and frozen section and histopathological analysis diagnosed an ovarian fibroma. Ascites cytology was negative. Elevated CA-125, presence of cavitary effusions, suspicious imaging exam can mimic a scenario of ovarian cancer at an advanced stage. However, in classical Meigs syndrome, treatment is surgical, and the diagnosis is obtained through histopathological analysis of the ovarian tumor. Classical Meigs syndrome' management is surgical. After tumor removal, pleural effusion and ascites resolve.

Presentación atípica del síndrome de Meigs: reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura / Atypical presentation of Meigs syndrome: A case report and literature review

Resumen El síndrome de Meigs (SM) es la asociación de ascitis, derrame pleural y neoplasias ovárica benigna, en el pseudo-Meigs se agrega CA-125 elevado. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 67 años con masa anexial derecha, marcadores tumorales negativos. Se realiza ooforectomía, reportan cistoadenofibroma seroso. Doce semanas posteriores con distensión abdominal, pérdida de peso, tomografía abdominal con carcinomatosis peritoneal, antígeno CA-125 de 1,063.4 U/l. Segunda visión laparoscopia, sin neoplasia, corroborada por histopatología. Realizar un diagnóstico de SM es sencillo, no así cuando se presenta un caso atípico de pseudo-Meigs. Los artículos mencionan mejoría significativa posterior al manejo quirúrgico.

Abstract Meigs syndrome (MS) is the association of ascites, pleural effusion and benign ovarian neoplasms, the pseudo-Meigs (PMS) adds elevated CA-125. We present the case of a 67-year-old female with a right adnexal mass, negative tumor markers, performed ororectomy reported serous cystadenofibroma. 12 weeks later with abdominal distension, weight loss, abdominal tomography with peritoneal carcinomatosis, CA -125 antigen of 1063.4U/L. Second laparoscopic view, without neoplasia, corroborated by histopathology. Making a diagnosis of MS is simple, but not when an atypical case of Pseudo-Meigs is presented. The articles mention significant improvement after surgical management.

Síndrome de pseudo-Meigs por tumor de células de la granulosa / Pseudo-Meigs syndrome due to granulosa cell tumor / Pseudo-Meigs syndrome due to granulosa cell tumor

RESUMEN Definimos síndrome de Meigs como la triada de tumor ovárico benigno, derrame pleural y ascitis, una condición clínica rara que se resuelve con la resección del tumor. Estas mismas características pueden presentarse en el síndrome de pseudoMeigs que se asocia a tumores malignos, que agregan un aumento importante de los niveles del marcador CA-125. Es conocido por muchos años, pero su fisiopatología aún no está clara. Se presenta un caso de síndrome pseudo-Meigs y se hace una breve revisión bibliográfica de sus características más importantes.

ABSTRACT Meigs' syndrome is defined as the triad of benign ovarian tumor, pleural effusion and ascites, a rare clinical condition that is treated with tumor resection. Same characteristics may occur in cases of malignant tumors, that add a notable increase in antigen CA-125 serum levels, constituting the pseudo-Meigs syndrome. They have been known for many years, but their pathophysiology remains unclear. We report the case of a pseudo-Meigs syndrome, and a brief bibliography review of the most important characteristics of these syndromes is performed.

Síndrome de Meigs sincrónico con tuberculosis peritoneal. Reporte de caso / Meigs syndrome synchronous with a peritoneal tuberculosis. A case report

Resumen Antecedentes: La sospecha clínica de tuberculosis peritoneal debe coexistir en todo paciente con dolor abdominal de causa desconocida; sobre todo si se acompaña de fiebre, ascitis y distensión abdominal. Caso clínico: Paciente de 23 años, con ascitis, derrame pleural y una masa pélvica; concentración elevada de Ca- 125 (875 U/mL), y síntomas sugerentes de cáncer de ovario avanzado. Los estudios de laboratorio y gabinete sugirieron una tumoración proveniente del ovario izquierdo. En la laparotomía diagnóstica se encontraron lesiones compatibles con tuberculosis peritoneal, por lo que se obtuvo una biopsia de la lesión, con resultado positivo de la enfermedad. Se prescribió tratamiento antituberculoso y, posteriormente, se efectuó un nuevo procedimiento quirúrgico debido a la persistencia de la tumoración pélvica y datos de abdomen agudo, en la que se encontró un cistoadenofibroma. Luego de su extirpación la paciente se recuperó por completo. Conclusión: La tuberculosis peritoneal es una enfermedad poco frecuente e inespecífica, al igual que la manifestación de tumores ováricos, por lo que representan un reto diagnóstico.

Abstract Background: Clinical suspicion of peritoneal tuberculosis must coexist in all patients with abdominal pain of unknown cause; especially if accompanied by fever, ascites and abdominal distension. Clinical case: A 23- year-old patient with ascites and pleural effusion, pelvic mass, elevated Ca 125 (875 U/mL), symptoms suggestive of advanced ovarian cancer, laboratory and cabinet studies were conducted, finding that the tumor comes from the left ovary, a diagnostic laparotomy in which lesions suggestive of peritoneal tuberculosis were found, so biopsies were taken, upon finding the result of positive pathology, antituberculous treatment was given and then underwent surgical treatment again for persisting pelvic mass and acute abdomen data, finding a cystoadenofibroma, which when removed, eventually the patient recovered completely. Conclusion: Peritoneal tuberculosis is a rare and nonspecific disease, as is the manifestation of ovarian tumors, which is a diagnostic challenge.

Tumor estromal esclerosante de ovário associado à síndrome de Meigs e gestação: relato de caso / Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary associated with a Meigs' syndrome and pregnancy: a case report

O tumor estromal esclerosante de ovário é uma neoplasia benigna extremamente rara, mais frequente em mulheres jovens e sem sintomas específicos na maioria dos casos. Menos de 150 casos foram descritos, dos quais 8 diagnosticados durante a gestação. Neste relato, documentamos a associação entre tumor estromal esclerosante de ovário, síndrome de Meigs e elevação dos níveis de CA-125 em gravidez a termo.

The sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary is an extremely rare benign tumor more common in young women and without specific symptoms in most cases. Less than 150 cases have been described, of which 8 were diagnosed during pregnancy. In this report, we describe the association between sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary, Meigs' syndrome and elevated levels of CA-125 in term pregnancy.
