CONTEXT: Meigs' syndrome consists of a benign ovarian tumor accompanied by ascites and hydrothorax. Elevated serum CA 125 levels in postmenopausal women with solid adnexal masses, ascites and pleural effusion are highly suggestive for malignant ovarian tumor. However, patients with Meigs' syndrome can also have elevated serum CA 125 levels. The authors report a case of Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA 125 level. OBJECTIVE: This is a case report of Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA 125 level. CASE REPORT: A 65-year-old Brazilian woman had presented progressive dyspnea, weight loss and decline in general condition over the 7 months preceding admission to our service. In another hospital, the patient had been submitted to thoracic drainage due to pleural effusion. With recurrence of the pleural effusion and increase in abdominal volume due to ascites and a pelvic mass, the patient sought our service. Transvaginal ultrasound showed an extensive adnexal solid mass of 16.4 x 10.8 cm located in the pelvis without exact limits, and the serum CA 125 level was elevated. With a preoperative diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma, the patient was submitted to exploratory laparotomy, which revealed a left ovarian tumor. The frozen section diagnosis was thecoma. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. The histology of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of thecoma. The patient was asymptomatic with a normal serum CA 125 level 20 months after the operation.

Angiosarcoma is a rare but highly malignant tumor arising from vascular endothelial cells. Angiosarcoma commonly arises from the heart, liver, breast, and skin including the scalp. Angiosarcoma metastasizing to the lungs can present as either pneumothorax, hemothorax, or pleural effusions. They can rarely present as rapidly enlarging thin-walled pulmonary cysts. A review of the literature is included.

Chest Wall Injury

Introduction. Fibrous dysplasia is a noninherited benign skeletal disorder associated with abnormal bone development. Single bone involvement, the monostotic form, accounts for 70 ? 80% of cases, while the polyostotic form, with multiple bone involvement, accounts for 20 ? 30% of cases. Cystic degeneration and occasional aneurysmal bone cyst formation may be found in fibrous dysplasia lesions, particularly in the costal lesions. Case Report. A 51-year-old man presented with acute shortness of breath after sustaining simple chest wall injury. Chest computed tomography showed multiple massive osteolytic rib lesions, as well as a massive left-sided pleural effusion with compression atelectasis of the lung parenchyma. Osteolytic lesions of the anterior 2nd and 7th thoracic vertebral body were found, along with a well defined osteolytic lesion in the body of the sternum. Video-assisted thoracoscopy of the left pleural space was performed and frozen sections, collected using endoscopic biopsy forceps of the cystic wall and solid parts of the tumors, were sent for ex tempore histopathological analysis. Results showed fibrous dysplasia with suspected malignancy. Talc pleurodesis was performed based on the obtained results. At present, the patient is asymptomatic with his daily routine uninterrupted by his medical condition. Conclusion. Treatment of pleural effusion caused by a cyst rupture of unresectable degenerated polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the ribs represents a surgical challenge. Surgical drainage of the cysts followed by chemical pleurodesis seems to be a reasonable solution in cases where pulmonary functions are impacted by combined effects of pleural effusion and cystic compression.
