We report the first case of ovarian hemangioma presenting as pseudo–Meigs’ syndrome with elevated CA125. Abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) assumed ovarian carcinoma. Chest CT revealed pleural effusion. Intraoperative frozen‐section examination of the right ovary showed benign hemangioma. After operation, chest radiograph and ultrasonography showed no pleural effusion or ascites.
