Abstract
A 30-year old pregnant woman presented to our hospital with stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma of the lower alveolus of the mouth. She underwent a transoral segmental resection of the tumour and left-modified radical neck dissection at 29 weeks of gestation. A multidisciplinary team was formed and careful consideration was given to preoperative evaluation, surgical and anaesthesia management, and postoperative care. The pregnancy was continued and the patient delivered a healthy baby at 35 weeks. This case highlights the perioperative interventions required to ensure the best possible outcomes for the mother and the baby.
