저자들은 본병원 산부인과에서 다발성 자궁근종을 수반한 자궁탈출증과 함께 흉복복수를 동반한 fibrothecoma를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

A relatively uncommon syndrome which mimics the terminal stage of a metastasizing malignant tumor, far advanced cirrhosis, or cardiac failure, but is curable by surgical treatment was first described by Meigs in 1937. The syndrome is a triad of ovarian tumor(fibrosis), ascites and pleural effusion. Every woman with ascites and hydrothorax should be carefully examined after abdominal paracentesis for the possible presence of ovarian tumor. Meigs syndrome usually occurs in postemenopausal woman and is not related to marital status or parity. Abdominal swelling is among the signs first noticed by the patient, but she usually consults the physician only after the onset of dyspnea, chest pain, nonproductive cough, angina, weakness, or abdominal pain. Consistant physician only after the onset of dyspnea, chest pain, nonproductive cough, againa, weakness, or abdominal pain. Consistant physical findings are a pelvic tumor, ascites and hydrothorax; not uncommon are loss of weight, anorexia, edema of the legs, and a sensation of pressure in the pelvis and rectum; occasionally there is prolapse of the uterus with urinary frequency. We present a case of ovarian fibrothecoma associated with ascites and hydrothorax and having uterine prolapse with brief review of literatures.
