Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is defined as malignant ovarian tumor leading to ascites or/and pleural effusion, whereas Meigs' syndrome is a triad of ascites, pleural effusion, and benign ovarian tumor. The removal of an underlying tumor leads to rapid improvement in patient symptoms in both conditions. It is a rare phenomenon, and only 1% of ovarian tumors account for Meigs' syndrome. We report a case of a 70-year-old female presented with complaints of shortness of breath, vaginal bleeding, bloating, and increased abdominal girth. X-ray and lab workup revealed pleural effusion and raised CA 125 (cancer antigen 125), which along with clinical presentation raised suspicion for Meigs' syndrome, but on exploratory laparotomy ovarian serous carcinoma was diagnosed. Diagnosis of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome was established instead of Meigs' syndrome, which was initially suspected. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome can mimic many other pathologies, which makes it a diagnostic challenge.
