Abstract

ABSTRACT The concomitant occurrence of chronic myeloid leukemia and pregnancy is estimated to be one in 75000-100000 pregnancies annually. We present a case of 28 years old lady with 36 weeks of gestation diagnosed as chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase. Her pregnancy and delivery was uneventful. She breast fed the baby for 3 weeks before initiating treatment. Close vigilance and relevant investigations are of paramount importance in recognizing this extremely rare disease during pregnancy.
