  ABSTRACT: Demons-Meigs syndrome combines a benign tumor of the ovary with thoracic and abdominal effusion, it is a rare disease whose pathophysiological mechanism is not yet well understood. This rare syndrome often gives rise to fear of ovarian neoplasia due to the existence of ascites and the significant elevation of CA 125. In this observation, we report the case of Demons-Meigs syndrome diagnosed in a 36-year-old young woman who presented with pleural and peritoneal effusion syndrome with an ovarian mass and a CA 125 level = 406.6 IU/ml. Laparotomy performed revealed very abundant ascites, the uterus and tubes were healthy, no suspicious peritoneal lesions, the left ovary is healthy, a right ovarian mass of 300 × 150 mm.A right annexectomy was performed. The operative suites were simple with drying of the effusions. The control CA 125 returned to normal after 6 months of follow-up. A pathological anatomy result is a fibrothecoma. Demons-Meigs syndrome has a good prognosis; treatment is based on removal of the ovarian tumor.
