ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is associated with tumors different from the benign ovary tumor, but it has never been described in association to transitional cell carcinoma. CASE REPORT: A female 73 year-old patient presenting pleural effusion nonmetastatic associated with renal pelvis transitional cell carcinomathat resolved and did not recur after radical nephroureterectomy. COMMENTS: Renal pelvis transitional cell carcinoma can result in the Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome. Although being a rare clinical entity, the identification of such syndrome can result in an accurate diagnosis, leading to an efficient surgical treatment, without comorbidity for the patient.
