[Demons-Meigs' syndrome. A case of thecoma and ovarian fibroma].
The authors report two cases of Demons-Meigs' syndrome, one following an ovarian fibrothecoma and the other an ovarian fibroma. There was a striking rise in the serum CA 125 level which was higher than 200 UI/ml, suggestive of cancer of the ovary in both cases. With the help of the literature data, the clinicopathological features of this rare condition and the different hypotheses concerning its aetiology are commented.
