Abstract
Multiple myeloma is a B-cell neoplastic disorder and represents 1% of all cancers and 13% of hematological malignancies. It is predominantly a disease of elderly, and less than 3% of all cases are below the age of 40 years. We present the case of a 29-year-old lady with multiple myeloma who had spontaneous conception during maintenance therapy and subsequently a successful pregnancy outcome. She gave birth to a healthy female infant through normal vaginal delivery and subsequently could remain off therapy for 5 years. Since the patient had a history of abortions and stillbirth, it was a precious pregnancy and we could successfully salvage both the mother and the baby. Young female patients of myeloma who are in remission can be encouraged to start a family during their reproductive years with the support of a comprehensive care team of hematologists/oncologists and obstetricians. © Federation of Obstetric & Gynecological Societies of India 2020.Entities:
