Coincident Hodgkin's disease and pregnancy is rare and optimal management requires special consideration because usual treatment modalities are associated with significant risk to the developing fetus. We have experienced a 20 weeks pregnant woman with Hodgkin's disease. Combination chemotherapy with ABV (Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine) 3 cycles were given during 2nd and 3rd trimester. She was delivered of a baby the 40 weeks of pregnancy without any problem. After delivery, she received additional 3 cycles of combination chemotherapy with ABVD (Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine, Dacarbazine). Then, radiation treatment with Mantle technique, total 3,600c㏉ was performed. Finally, she reached the complete remission. After 12 months from the end of treatment, there was no evidence of recurrence and the baby are developing without any anomaly.
