Meigs syndrome is CLASSICALLY associated with which ovarian tumour?
- A Brenner tumour
- B Fibroma ✓
- C Granulosa cell tumour
- D Thecoma
Correct answer: B. Fibroma
Explanation
Meigs syndrome comprises the triad of ovarian fibroma, ascites, and right-sided pleural effusion; the effusion resolves after tumour removal. Thecoma and Brenner tumour can occasionally produce the same triad (pseudo-Meigs syndrome) but fibroma is the classic association. Granulosa cell tumour is a sex-cord stromal tumour that secretes oestrogen and causes endometrial hyperplasia, not Meigs syndrome.
