ABSTRACT
We are reporting a case of colonic adenocarcinoma in a 18 weeks pregnant woman aged 42 years. We realised a left segmental colectomy completed by an adjuvant chemotherapy after a normal delivery. For months later, bilateral ovarian metastases were diagnosed. Therfore, hysterectomy and a bilateral ablation of annexes with an omentectomy was done. The ovulation was good without recurrence for four months later. Discussion:
The advised therapeutical attitde is to stop pregnancy before intervention during the first trimester, in the scond trimester surgical treatment is indicated regardless pregnancy, in the third trimester, it is necessary to wait until full pulmonary maturity of the foetus is reached, then intervene by a caesarian section and a curative surgical treatment at the same time. The diagnosis of cancer colon associated with pregnancy is difficult and needs a strong multidisciplinary collaboration. The prognosis of cancer colon is aggravated in pregnant women. It can not be improved except with an early diagnosis
