MEIGS'syndrome does not exist edit
This syndrome has been described 50 years before by DEMONS as the association of a woman's benign genital tumor with thoracic and/or abdominal effusion without cancerous cells. When the genital tumor is a fibroma or a fibrothecoma or a granulosa cells tumor,and only in these cases,it is a DEMONS-MEIGS'syndrome.So DEMONS syndrome includes the MEIGS'syndrome. We must call DEMONS pseudo-syndrome the association of thoracic and/or abdominal effusion with NON tumoral affection of the ovary such as endometriosis,hemangioma,hyperstimulation...aso... All effusions with malignancies are not DEMONS nor DEMONS pseudo syndromes but metastatic affections. So MEIGS'syndrome must disappear out of publications and pseudo MEIGS'syndrome still more! This one is a true"waste-baskett"!
