Abstract:
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma affecting pregnancy. These tumors may be aggressive and rapidly growing in pregnancy. Management is based on the balance of risks and benefits to both the pregnant patient and the fetus. CASE: We present a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma diagnosed in the third trimester of pregnancy. The patient underwent labor induction at 34 weeks of gestation, started a standard chemotherapy protocol postpartum, and breastfed following a timed lactation protocol. CONCLUSION: Management of lymphoma during pregnancy highlights the need to consider all aspects of proposed oncologic and obstetric care as well as neonatal risks. Considerations highlighted in this case include staging methods, administration of antenatal steroids, timing of delivery, and lactation during chemotherapy.
