Abstract

The overall incidence of lymphoma during pregnancy has not been established accurately. Hodgkin's disease is the fourth most frequently diagnosed cancer in pregnancy (1 in 1000 to 1 in 6000 pregnancies). In contrast, the incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma during pregnancy is rare, with fewer than one hundred cases reported(2). A case of small intestinal lymphoma in association with pregnancy is presented, with emphasis on the major clinical issues involved in the approach to the management of such cases.
