ABSTRACT
Pleural effusion is a common condition related to various diseases such as heart failure, malignancies, and pneumonia. Ovarian hemangioma is a rare type of female genital tumour and can rarely cause pleural effusion. In this case, we present a 48-year-old female with repeated episodes of recurrent right-sided pleural effusion over 1 year with no clear aetiology. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a large left ovarian mass. After surgical removal of the mass, the repeated pleural effusion episodes ceased, and histopathology analysis reported a rare ovarian hemangioma. Pseudo Meigs' syndrome is a triad of an ovarian tumour, ascites, and hydrothorax that rarely presents with ovarian hemangioma; both effusions are eradicated after removing the tumour.
