Abstract:

Malignancies are rare in pregnant women; with overall incidence during pregnancy is around 2.35/10,000. The most prevalent tumors occurring in pregnant females are malignant melanoma (2.8/1000), followed by carcinoma of the cervix (1/2200) and breast (1/3000). A review of the literature didn’t find any convincing evidence that pregnancy has a deleterious impact on the incidence of clinical profile of malignancy as compared to non-pregnant women of reproductive age, except in the case of malignant melanoma. Urological malignancy in pregnancy is rare and poses a diagnostic and treatment challenge. Here, we report a case of non-muscle invasive bladder carcinoma in the pregnant female, successfully managed by TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor), resulting in good maternal and fetal outcomes.
