A 52-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with a large ovarian tumor, ascites, and right hydrothorax. We found elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigens (44.4 ng/mL), carbohydrate antigen (CA)-125 (269.8 U/mL), and CA-199 (7942 U/mL). The frozen section pathology revealed a mucinous borderline ovarian tumor, and a staging operation was performed. Final pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of intestinal type ovarian mucinous borderline tumor with non-invasive cul-de-sac implants. Her pleural effusion and ascites resolved after surgery, and she remained tumor-free after 3 years' follow up. Physicians should be cautious for the rare possibility of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome in patients with pelvic tumors having the features of advanced ovarian cancer. ? 2012 The Authors.[SDGs]SDG3antigen; CA 125 antigen; CA 19-9 antigen; carcinoembryonic antigen; abdominal distension; abdominal hysterectomy; adult; advanced cancer; appendectomy; article; ascites; borderline ovarian tumor; cancer staging; case report; clinical feature; computer assisted tomography; cytoreductive surgery; dyspnea; female; follow up; frozen section; human; hydrothorax; lymph node dissection; omentectomy; ovary tumor; pelvis lymph node; pleura effusion; postmenopause; postoperative period; pseudo-Meigs syndrome; salpingooophorectomy; thoracocentesis; tumor volume; ultrasound; Adenocarcinoma, Mucinous; Female; Humans; Hysterectomy; Laparotomy; Meigs Syndrome; Middle Aged; Ovarian Neoplasms; Treatment Outcomejournal article10.1111/j.1447-0756.2012.01901.x226725272-s2.0-84875695917
