Abstract

A 30-year old woman was admitted to our hospital in the 16th week of her first pregnancy with a diagnosis of pulmonary cancer.
She underwent right middle lobectomy with mediastinal dissection in the 24th week of gestation without undue complications. She developed toxemia at 35 weeks of gestation so underwent Cesarean section. A healthy baby was delivered.
Both patient and child are doing well two years postoperatively. We feel that pregnancy should be maintained after careful radical surgery for pulmonary cancer.
