Περίληψη:
Occurrence of Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) in pregnancy is very rare. A
24-year-old woman with NHL stage IVB complicating pregnancy is
presented. The diagnosis was made by biopsy at 27 weeks. The patient
received combination chemotherapy which led to remission of the disease.
The baby was delivered by an emergency caesarean section, due to fetal
distress at 31 weeks. Unfortunately after a short period of remission a
relapse occurred and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed cerebral
involvement, indicating a poor prognosis. She died seven months later
from disseminated disease. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
