Abstract

Meigs syndrome is the association between ascites and hydrothorax with a benign ovarian tumor. Currently, germ cell tumors represent between 15% and 30% of ovarian tumors and this syndrome has been associated with 1% of these tumors. The objective of this article was to describe the clinical and pathophysiological characteristics, as well as the pillars of the treatment of Meigs syndrome. For this, an information search was carried out in the PubMed, SciElo, Science Direct, Medigraphic and Scopus databases. Articles related to the topic were selected, as well as full texts published in the last five years, for a total of twenty-five references. It was concluded that Meigs syndrome constitutes a pathology that causes few symptoms, for which the knowledge of its clinical picture is essential to make an opportune diagnosis and an adequate treatment.
