    Author: Khan J, McClennan BL, Qureshi S, Martell M, Iyer A, Bokhari SJ.
    Journal: Gynecol Oncol; 2005 Aug; 98(2):313-7. PubMed ID: 15963555.
    Abstract:
    To the best of our knowledge, pseudo-Meigs syndrome (PMS) has never been described in the setting of gliomatosis peritonei (GP), both arising from an ovarian teratoma. We present a case of ovarian teratoma with both these rare findings. The case is unique as it presents two rare manifestations of ovarian teratoma in the same patient; there are many cases in the literature where both these manifestations have been described in different patients. The case is also rare because lymph node involvement along with gliomatosis was found. We review the literature for these two rare complications of ovarian teratoma.
