A giant fibroma associated with Meigs’ syndrome misdiagnosed as a giant myoma: a case report

Ovarian fibroma are uncommon sex cord-stromal neoplasms, constituting 1.0-4.0% of all ovarian tumors [1]. Clinical presentations of ovarian cancer include palpable pelvic mass, pelvic, and abdominal symptoms such as abdominal bloating, distension, urinary urgency, dyspnea, and pelvic pain. Postmenopausal woman with adnexal mass, ascites may indicate myoma or even ovarian cancer. However, Meigs’ syndrome must be considered as differential diagnosis. Meigs’ syndrome is a benign disease that disappears after removal of the pelvic mass [2]. The authors report a case of Meigs’ syndrome caused by a right ovarian fibroma, misdiagnosed as myoma in a postmenopausal woman.
