title: [Recurrence of Demons-Meigs' syndrome. A case report].
abstract: Meigs' syndrome includes ascites, hydrothorax and benign ovarian tumor. The aim of this study was to report a recurrence of Meigs' syndrome in a 71 year old woman, which occurred 30 years after the initial operation. It seems to be the first reported case of recurrence. The high level of CA125 was suggestive of malignancy. Resection of a peritoneal recurrence of the benign fibrothecoma was followed for the second time by improvement of all the symptoms.
