{Abstract}: We present a rare case of a 45-year-old woman with pseudo-Meigs' syndrome and eosinophilic pleural effusion (EPE). She experienced cough, sputum, and dyspnea with a large right pleural effusion. Laboratory tests showed eosinophilia in the blood and pleural fluid. An ovarian tumor and ascites were also detected. After left salpingo-oophorectomy, the tumor was diagnosed as a mature cystic teratoma of the left ovary. The right-sided pleural effusion gradually resolved. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is characterized by benign ovarian tumor, ascites, and pleural effusion. Typically, it is associated with exudate pleural effusion characterized by a predominance of mononuclear cells. The occurrence of eosinophilic pleural effusion in our patient may be exceptionally rare.
