Abstract:

Demons-Meigs syndrome is a rare benign pathology that can be confused with other benign and malignant pathologies. The clinical picture is marked by an increase in abdominal volume, pelvic-abdominal pain, but it can also be associated with breathing difficulties due to excess ascites fluid and pleurisy. Imaging paraclinical examination easily reveals the three components: ascites, pleurisy, and ovarian mass. Surgical treatment helps to relieve symptoms in a relatively short time.
