An elevated serum CA125 level in association with a pelvic mass,pleural effusion,and massive ascites usually signifies a dismal prognosis in a postmenopausal woman.However, surgery and histopathological examination are required for the correct diagnosis and treatment,since an elevated CA125 level can be falsely positive for ovarian malignancy.We present a case of Meigs’ syndrome due to left ovarian fibroma with elevated CA125 level in a postmenopausal woman.

Abstract
An elevated serum CA125 level in association with a pelvic mass,pleural effusion,and massive ascites usually signifies a dismal prognosis in a postmenopausal woman.However, surgery and histopathological examination are required for the correct diagnosis and treatment,since an elevated CA125 level can be falsely positive for ovarian malignancy.We present a case of Meigs’ syndrome due to left ovarian fibroma with elevated CA125 level in a postmenopausal woman.
Özet
Postmenapozal hastalarda serumda artmış CA 125 birlikteliği ile beraber pelvik kitle,plevral efüzyon, masif asit varlığı genellikle kötü prognozu işaret eder.Bununla beraber doğru tanı ve tedavi için operasyon ve histopatolojik inceleme gereklidir çünkü yüksek CA125 düzeyi ovarian malignensi için yanlış pozitif olabilir.Biz bu yazıda postmenapozal hastada CA 125 yüksekliği ile seyreden sol ovarial fibromanın eşlik ettiği Meigs’ Sendromu olgusunu sunuyoruz.
