چکیده

Cervical carcinoma is mostly seen in women of child bearing age. Although rare in pregnancy it can occasionally present as a complication. Oncology referral centres may see one to two cases per year. Incidence of invasive disease varies in different centres from 1 in 1250 to 1 in 3000 pregnancies. By definition a tumour diagnosed during pregnancy and within one year postpartum is considered as in association with pregnancy by many authors. Although some have only reported antenatal cases, while others have included cases 18 months postpartum. Symptoms will be the same as in non-pregnant women, i.e., vaginal discharge and/or bleeding, either spontaneous or postcoital. Prognosis of the disease is the same in pregnant as in non-pregnant cases. Gestational age at the time of diagnosis is extremely important when planning treatment. We present two case reports of stage 1B carcinoma cervix complicating pregnancy.
