Meigs̓ syndrome is a rare clinical entity consisting of a triad of ascites, pleural effusion, and benign ovarian tumour. The co-existence of Meigs̓ syndrome and pregnancy is even more infrequent. This report is of a pregnant woman with Meigs̓ syndrome. The superior role of magnetic resonance imaging over ultrasonography in establishing the ovarian origin of a large pelvic mass in the presence of a gravid uterus is also presented and discussed.
