Meigs syndrome overview

Overview
Meigs syndrome or Meigs' syndrome is the triad of benign ovarian tumor (fibroma, thecoma, cystadenoma, or granulosa cell tumor), ascites and pleural effusion. It resolves after the resection of the tumor. For reasons unknown, the pleural effusion is classically on the right side. (Note: Meigs' Syndrome is not to be confused with Meige's syndrome)
