ABSTRACT

Introduction: Meigs syndrome is defined by the presence of a triad, which is composed of the benign ovarian tumor, ascites and hydrothorax, its name comes from Joe Vincent Meigs (1892-1963), however, other authors like Demons and Salmon had already described before Meigs, hence many publications mention it as Demons-Meigs and Salmon-Meigs syndrome.
Clinical case: We present a case of a patient with the diagnosis of Meigs syndrome with clinical and sonographic diagnosis of Meigs syndrome treated at the service of Gynecology at University General Hospital "Carlos Manuel de Cespedes" of Bayamo in 2015.
Discussion: It describes the clinic, diagnostics and surgical treatment used in the patient.
Conclusion: the patient was discharged from service three days after the surgery, with satisfactory evolution.
