Abstract
Treatment of malignancy during pregnancy is difficult because of the potential teratogenicity of chemotherapeutic agents. Leucapheresis was employed in the initial management of a pregnant patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia. It was subsequently replaced with oral hydroxyurea during the second trimester. Successful delivery of a live male infant was achieved and the child has normal growth and development to date.Entities:
