Pregnancy and relapse of peripheral T cell lymphoma. A case report.

Abstract

A patient was admitted to our hospital, in the 34th week of her pregnancy, who presented a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The delivery was induced in the 38th week and the newborn baby had no other anomalies than a single umbilical artery and a slight dilation of the cerebral ventricles which receded spontaneously. Peculiar characteristics, not previously described, were a peripheral T cell lymphoma with relapse after 5 years since its remission with chemotherapy.
