A case of pseudo-meigs' syndrome caused by ovarian metastasis of ascending colon cancer

Abstract

We encountered a case of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome caused by ovarian metastasis of ascending colon cancer. A 49-year-old woman visited another hospital with complaints of anemia and abdominal fullness. Abdominal CT scan showed a bilateral ovarian tumor and subsequently she visited our hospital. Colonoscopic examination showed ascending colon cancer. Chest X-p and CT showed right pleural effusion, so we performed drainage and removed 800 ml of effusion. We performed a right hemicolectomy with D3 dissection and bilateral oophrectomy with hysterectomy. Pathological diagnosis was a metastatic ovarian tumor of the ascending colon.
