Abstract
Hodgkin's lymphoma is rarely diagnosed in pregnancy, occurring in 1:6000 deliveries. However, improvements in survival and the use of less gonadotoxic treatments have increased the number of Hodgkin's lymphoma survivors becoming pregnant. Both de novo and relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma in pregnancy pose difficult decisions for both clinicians and patients. This review discusses important diagnostic and treatment considerations of relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma in pregnancy. We discuss a difficult case which illustrates these particular dilemmas and suggests the evidence behind different modalities of investigation and management.Entities:
