Abstract
Introduction/Background Primary ovarian site manifestation of lymphomas are sporadic neoplasms, accounting 0,2–1,1% of all cases of extranodal non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphoma predominantly with unfavorable prognosis. The accompaing of these diseases with pregnancy is an extremely rare condition that causes difficulties in diagnosis and treatment
Methodology Pregnant thirty-nine-year-old patient after In vitro fertilization with Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnostics due to mutation in the CFTR gene which was diagnosed after cystic fibrosis (with severe lung/digestive system disorders) in the first child. At gestational age (GA) 24 weeks ORADS-4 ovarian neoplasm was detected. Non-contrast MRI discovered a solid lesion measuring 14,5x8,8x10,5cm in the left ovary with signs of true diffusion restriction and ascites. Due to pain, peritoneal symptoms an emergency operation was performed: laparotomy, left adnexectomy, omentectomy (due to preoperative rupture of the tumor with hemorrhage and adhesions to the omentum). Morphologically high-grade B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (HGBL-NOS) with Ki67–97% was detected (figure 1). After whole body MRI scanning tumor changes of the paraaortic lymph nodes were diagnosed. Taking into account strong wish of patient to maintain pregnancy, the high-grade lymphoma, the risk of worsening the prognosis the DA-EPOCH-R chemotherapy was initiated.
Results After three cycles of DA-EPOCH-R chemotherapy (with reduction of tumor foci up to 98% without significant toxicity) the cesarean section was performed at GA 37 1/7. Newborn: boy, weight: 3080 g, Apgar 8/9, healthy. The patient continuing treatment in the hematology department with ongoing tumor reduction.
Conclusion The combination of non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphoma of rare localization (ovaries) during pregnancy is extremely uncommon morbidity with possibility of prolonging pregnancy along with treatment in a specialized, multidisciplinary medical center. This makes it possible to conduct a full-fledged examination, prescribe adequate and timely treatment while minimizing risks to the fetus, prolong pregnancy to full term, and create conditions for the birth of a healthy child.
