ABSTRACT
Meigs' syndrome is named when benign and solid ovarian tumors with the gross appearance of a fibroma is accompanied by ascites and pleural effusion, which disappear after removal of the ovarian tumors. Ovarian tumors with markedly elevated CA 125 level are highly suggestive of ovarian malignancy but, patients with Meigs' syndrome can have elevated serum CA 125 levels as well. We present a 75-year-old woman's case of Meigs' syndrome with markedly elevated serum CA 125 level (1,068 IU/mL).
