The occurrence of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) during pregnancy is rare. The optimal management of NHL during pregnancy requires special considerations. Because of their rapid progression, women with aggressive NHL should receive standard chemotherapy despite the potential risk to the developing fetus. We experienced a case of 30-year-old pregnant woman diagnosed as a diffuse large B cell NHL at 28 weeks of gestation, who was taken 4 cycles of CHOP combination chemotherapy and delivered a male baby
weighing 2660g at 39 weeks of gestation. Following delivery, she received additional 3 cycles of chemotherapy with 4500c㏉ of radiotherapy on the neck. While she has been in complete remission of NHL over 6 years, her baby have developed mild developmental retardation.
