Description
Summary:Malignant Hodgkin's lymphoma or (Hodgkin's disease) accounts for only 10% of all lymphomas but it is one of the most commonly diagnosed sub-types of lymphoma during pregnancy. This is due, in large part, to the maximum of disease incidence which coincides with reproductive age. The management of a pregnant patient with Hodgkin's disease requires multidisciplinary approach as well as effective communication with the patient and her family. The aim is to optimize mother's chances of being cured while ensuring the delivery of a healthy baby. We here report the rare case of a pregnant patient with Hodgkin's disease at 17 weeks of amenorrhea.
