A case of Meigs' syndrome and sclerosing peritonitis associated with fibrothecoma of bilateral ovary / 대한산부인과학회지

ABSTRACT

Fibrothecoma is mesenchymal tumor deriving from the ovarian stroma composed of theca-like elements and fibrous tissues. Fibroma is rarely associated with Meigs' syndrome which consists of an ovarian fibroma, ascites, and pleural effusion. And also, sclerosing peritonitis associated with thecoma of the ovary is a rare, but intriguing phenomenon characterized by striking peritoneal reactive fibrosis. We have experienced a case of Meigs' syndrome and sclerosing peritonitis associated with fibrothecoma of the bilateral ovaries in a 57-year-old woman. We report a case with brief review of literatures.
