Uterine fibroid: an unusual cause of recurrent haemorrhagic pleural effusion.

A 51-year-old woman presented with dyspnoea due to pleural effusion, which repeatedly reaccumulated rapidly after tapping. A pelvic mass was present and she was considered to have disseminated ovarian malignant tumour. Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed, and the tumour was shown to be a necrotic uterine fibromyoma. After the operation the patient has been well, with no recurrence of the effusion. This is the twelfth reported case of the association of hydrothorax with uterine fibromyoma, and is a form of the rare pseudo-Meigs' syndrome.
