AB  - Neoplasms  are  commonly  found  in  pregnant  women.  Although  most  are  benign,  if  a  malignancy  complicates  pregnancy,  then  usual  management  schemes  become  problematic.  Uterine  leiomyomas  and  ovarian  cysts  are  the  most  frequently  encountered  benign  neoplasms  during  pregnancy.  Malignancies  have  an  incidence  of  approximately  1  per  1000  pregnancies  (Brewer,  2011).  One  third  are  diagnosed  prenatally  and  the  others  within  12  months  of  delivery.  Some  of  the  more  common  cancers  found  in  pregnant  women  are  shown  in  Figure  63-1.  Of  these,  the  three  most  common  are  breast—1  per  5000  pregnancies,  thyroid—1  per  7000,  and  cervical—1  per  8500  (Smith,  2003).  These,  along  with  lymphoma  and  melanoma,  account  for  65  percent  of  cancer  cases  in  pregnancy  (Eibye,  2013).
