Primary liver carcinoma complicating pregnancy.
Primary hepatic carcinoma complicating pregnancy has been sporadically reported in the literature. Its association with grossly raised serum alphafetoprotein values is of particular interest to obstetricians who perform routine maternal alphafetoprotein screening in the second trimester. A case with favourable maternal and fetal outcome is presented.
