Sarcoma complicating pregnancy.
An unusual case of pregnancy complicated by intraabdominal sarcoma is presented; tumor reductive surgery was required late in the second trimester so that a gestational age of fetal viability could be reached. Fetal outcome was successful. The mother died shortly after delivery. Management of widespread intraabdominal cancer complicating the latter half of pregnancy should aim toward obtaining fetal viability.
