title: Meigs' Syndrome with Elevated Serum CA125: Case Report and Review of the Literature.
abstract: An elevated serum CA125 level in association with a pelvic mass, pleural effusion, and massive ascites usually signifies a dismal prognosis in a postmenopausal woman. However, surgery and histopathological examination are required for the correct diagnosis and treatment, since an elevated CA125 level can be falsely positive for ovarian malignancy. We present a case of Meigs' syndrome due to right ovarian fibroma with elevated CA125 level in a postmenopausal woman.
