A variant of pseudo‐Meig's syndrome is reported in an 8‐year‐old female patient. The unusual presentation of this new variant (persistent bronchorrhea and absence of hydrothorax) is emphasized. Meig's and pseudo‐Meig's syndromes are discussed with emphasis on the new variant of pseudo‐Meig's syndrome. Attention is directed at the pathophysiologic mechanism and the early surgical intervention to avoid further complications.
