摘要
Here we report a case of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus presenting with pseudo-pseudo Meigs' syndrome (PPMS): a triad of pleural effusion, ascites and raised CA-125. There have only been nine other cases reported in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first to have an oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy and liver biopsy as part of the diagnostic work up. Its mechanism of action is not yet fully understood but PPMS is a treatable condition that is responsive to immunosuppression. It is therefore important to consider it in patients presenting like this, where alternative diagnoses, including malignancy, have been ruled out.
