“…The mode of delivery has been a Cesarean Section in 16 of the 26 ongoing pregnancies (61.5%) [10,12,14,15,16,18,20,21,22,23,24,25,27,33,34,35]; an obstetric indication occurred for 8/16 (50%) cases, the remaining were performed to manage the pancreatic disease or due to deteriorating condition of the mother. A preterm delivery (delivery at a gestational age earlier than 37 weeks of gestation) occurred for 18/26 (69.2%) cases; 11/18 were induced in order to manage the pancreatic disease or due to deteriorating condition of the mother.…”

The occurrence of coexisting cancer in pregnant women is not a common phenomenon. It complicates approximately 1 in 1000 to 1500 pregnancies. We present a multiparous woman aged 27 years in her 28th week of pregnancy who was admitted to our clinic with right upper quadrant pain and was finally revealed to have multiple metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of pancreatic adenocarcinoma to metastasize both to the placenta and multiple maternal sites (liver, supraclavicular, para-aortic lymph nodes) in a pregnant patient. Unpredictable metastases to the placenta may be encountered and may even lead to definitive diagnosis, as in our case. Therefore, the placenta in any patient with known malignancy should be sent for pathologic evaluation.

“…Diagnosis in pregnancy, however, is complicated by normal physiologic changes and fetal considerations. Transabdominal ultrasound is often insufficient to evaluate the pancreas and can be obscured by bowel displaced by the gravid uterus [14]. Contrast-enhanced CT scan is the method of choice for diagnosis and staging of pancreatic tumors in non-pregnant patients [5]; however, CT is often delayed in pregnancy, considering the risks of fetal radiation exposure.…”

Stroke and hepatic vein thrombosis are highly associated with neoplasia but are extremely rare events in young, pregnant women. Rare and recurrent thrombotic events in pregnancy increase the suspicion for occult malignancy. We describe the case of a healthy 31-year-old G2P1 who presented with visual changes and dysarthria during pregnancy. Imaging showed cerebral infarcts. Her thrombophilia evaluation was negative. During delivery, she was diagnosed with fulminant Budd-Chiari Syndrome. Hepatic ultrasound suggested malignancy or metastasis, and postpartum CT scan and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Stage IV pancreatic cancer. Although rare in pregnancy, a new diagnosis of malignancy should be considered in patients with recurrent unexplained hypercoagulable complications. We propose an evidence-based algorithm for evaluation of occult malignancy in pregnancy based upon this case and review of the literature.
