title: Pseudo-Meigs syndrome caused by sigmoid colon cancer metastasis to the ovary.
abstract: We present a patient with pseudo-Meigs syndrome (PMS) secondary to sigmoid colon cancer metastasis to the ovary with elevated serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9, and CA-125 who showed a marked change in pleural effusion before and after surgery. We have to consider PMS associated with colon cancer in patients with pleural effusion/ascites and ovarian tumors.
