Case report: We report a case of a 6-year-old girl who presented with progressive breathlessness, lethargy, and constipation for two weeks, associated with multiple episodes of joint pain and polymorphous rash. Imaging of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis suggested bilateral pleural effusion, ascites, and an ovarian mass with abdominal involvement. The pleural and peritoneal fluids were exudative in nature. Unfortunately, she was not fit for a biopsy of the mass and was treated in the intensive care unit for one month. She was initiated on oral corticosteroids for suspicion of an underlying autoinflammatory disease. However, subsequent investigations yielded inconclusive results. She gradually recovered and was well for a year. She presented again with constitutional symptoms and was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Thus, it was retrospectively apparent that this was a case of pseudo-Meigs syndrome. Conclusion: We describe an unusual presentation of DLBCL with a temporary resolution of symptoms.en-USMeigs syndrome Lymphoma Large B-Cell Diffuse Intensive care units Pediatric Lupus erythematosus Systemictext::journal::journal article28929392024
