Case report details successful management of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in pregnancy, suggesting R-CHOP chemotherapy may be effective.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare diagnosis observed in pregnant women. It can present as B-cell and T-cell lymphomas. It can be a diagnostic challenge in pregnant women, due to overlapping clinical features such as weight loss and fatigue, similar to pregnancy. It can be managed either by immediate intervention in aggressive cases or after postpartum if indolent. We present the case of a 30-year-old woman at 32 weeks of gestation, presenting with a painless progressive swelling over the left side of her neck. It was later diagnosed as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and successfully managed by R-CHOP chemotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone).
