Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare neoplasia, the approach to which was largely palliative until recently. A 27-year-old nulliparous patient with a presumed dermoid cyst and pelvic pain related to pregnancy was incidentally found to have disseminated PMP during cesarean section at term for a breech presentation. The patient underwent surgical cytoreduction, operative heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy and early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, a novel approach known as "the Sugarbaker technique". A literature review of this rare clinical scenario and a discussion of diagnosis and management are presented.

“…The incidence of cancer during pregnancy is approximately 1 in 1000, and the most common types are cervical, breast and ovarian cancers 4 . To our knowledge there are only two reports of pseudomyxoma peritonei occurring during pregnancy in 2009, and both cases were of appendiceal origin 5,6 . Pseudomyxoma peritonei originating from colorectal cancer during pregnancy has not been reported.…”

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is an extremely rare condition characterized by the presence of gelatinous ascites and disseminated intra-peritoneal mucinous tumors. To our knowledge, there have been only two case reports of pseudomyxoma peritonei during pregnancy in 2009, both of which originated from the appendix. We present the first case of pseudomyxoma peritonei originating from colorectal cancer during pregnancy. Prenatal ultrasound examination of a 34-year-old, asymptomatic woman revealed characteristic features of pseudomyxoma peritonei at 24 weeks gestation. At laparotomy, both ovaries were involved with copious amounts of mucinous tumors and fluid, an advanced colorectal cancer had invaded the peritoneal cavity and multiple disseminated tumors were noted around the intraperitoneal cavity. All clinicians practicing obstetrics and gynecology must consider the possibility of a malignant neoplasm presenting in a pregnant woman and should recognize the highly characteristic features of pseudomyxoma peritonei to enable detection of this rare condition incidentally during routine screening ultrasound examinations.

“…Because of this, both physicians and women were often unsure about how to deal with cancer during pregnancy for many years. The most common cancers in pregnant women are cervical, breast and ovarian 1. Carcinoid tumour (neuroendocrine tumour (NET)) is an uncommon malignancy during pregnancy.…”

SUMMARYWe present an uncommon case of a carcinoid tumour of the bronchus that was diagnosed during pregnancy in a 28-year-old woman. The patient was admitted at the emergency department with massive haemoptysis. Owing to the patient's critical condition, she underwent urgent flexible bronchoscopy. Bleeding was controlled by local injection of 500 mg tranexamic acid and electrocautery. After the bleeding has stopped, multiple specimens were taken. Histological examination confirmed typical carcinoid tumour. Owing to repeated haemoptysis, she was treated with bronchoscopic (electrocautery) therapy, and, after delivery, she underwent pulmonary lobectomy. Only a few similar cases were found in the literature reporting bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumour during pregnancy and we could not find any similar case which was treated by electrocautery.
