Abstract
|
|
|
Meigs¡¯ syndrome is defined by the presence of ascites and hydrothorax in association with ¡¯fibroma-like¡¯ benign ovarian tumors. Tumor extirpation resulted in a resorption of the ascites and a pleural effusion. A Krukenberg tumor resulting from
stomach cancer would be highly suggested when stomach cancer, ovarian tumor, and ascites are found concomitantly. However, when a patient presents with ovarian tumor, stomach cancer, and repeated cytologic examination of the ascitic fluid renders negative results, stomach cancer associated with Meigs¡¯ syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis. We report a case of stomach cancer presenting with Meigs¡¯ syndrome in a 70-year-old woman who had been referred for control of intractable ascites. The patient was cured by radical subtotal gastrectomy and bilateral oophorectomy.
