[1] [2] [3] Meigs syndrome resolves after the resection of the tumor. Because the transdiaphragmatic lymphatic ...
[3] [4] [5] This abnormal growth usually forms a mass, which may be called a tumour or tumor. [6] ICD-10 classifies neoplasms into four main groups: benign neoplasms, in situ neoplasms, malignant neoplasms, and neoplasms of uncertain or unknown behavior.

[ 4 ] The peak age at which they occur is 50–55 years, but they may occur at any age.
