RESUMO
The multidisciplinary team (MDT) plays a pivotal role in establishing the diagnosis and tailoring treatment for challenging, complicated, rare obstetrical cases. At 28 weeks of gestation, a lady presented with an unresolved unilateral proptosis and sustained severe mastitis. MDT managed the patient at a tertiary care hospital for primary breast Burkitt lymphoma (PBBL). It is a rare and highly malignant condition requiring an aggressive therapeutic approach. Antenatal chemotherapy (ANC) with an aggressive regimen of R-hyper-CVAD/MA was started. A healthy baby was vaginally delivered after completing the second therapy cycle at 32+ weeks, weighing 1.6kg with a good Apgar score. Postnatally, the central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis was added; after completing eight chemo cycles, our patient remained stabilized for nine months. Unfortunately, due to the refractory and aggressive nature of malignancy, it relapsed, giving an overall survival (OS) of two years. MDT care should be considered at the earliest possible period to expedite the entire process. Positive results can be achieved with timely aggressive treatment and early management of such cases.
