Pregnancy complicated with chronic myelogeneous leukemia (CML) successfully treated with imatinib: a case report.
Pregnancy and cancer is a complex situation. The coincidence of chronic myelogeneous leukemia (CML) and pregnancy is an uncommon event, in part because CML occurs mostly in older age groups. ⋯ In the literature there are very few reports of outcome of pregnancy conceived while on imatinib. In this report, we describe a successful pregnancy and labor under treatment of imatinib in a patient who was diagnosed with CML at the beginning of her pregnancy.
