| Summary: | Colorectal cancer in pregnant women is rare and represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians. We present a case of a 38-year-old pregnant woman, diagnosed with colorectal cancer and liver metastases during the 29th week of gestation. After clinical evaluation and making the diagnosis, the patient underwent an emergency cesarean section (C-section) and bypass anastomosis between the transverse colon and sigmoid colon. The babies were born healthy without any complications. After recovery, the mother started treatment with chemotherapy, but two months later she died due to the spread of the disease. Cancer during pregnancy is always a challenge for diagnosis and treatment. |
