Metastatic breast cancer complicating pregnancy. A case report

J Reprod Med. 1984 Mar;29(3):211-3.

Abstract

An 18-year-old patient at 15 weeks' gestation was hospitalized for a high fever and delirium secondary to a presumed viral syndrome. She had massive hepatomegaly, and a small breast lump was noted incidentally. Abnormalities in the differential blood count and liver function tests were found in addition to thrombocytopenia. Bone marrow biopsy revealed metastatic breast cancer.
