Abstract :
The hematologic malignancies during pregnancy are rare and there is often a delay in diagnosis because of the similarity of symptoms to those of pregnancy. Therefore the management of disease necessitates many medical, psychological, social, and ethical problems for the patient and physician to deal with and a multidisciplinary approach of a medical team consisting of hematologist, obstetrician and pediatrician. Here, we present three cases of hematologic malignancies during pregnancy; acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that were admitted to our clinic with different clinical presentation. There is a need for measures to increase the awareness of health workers related to hematologic malignancies during antenatal care.
