[Nephrectomy for cancer in pregnant women. Apropos of a case].
We report on the case of a young pregnant woman who had a malignant tumor of the kidney. The pregnancy did not change the gold standard therapy: radical nephrectomy. Because of the pregnancy the preoperative staging consisted of an abdominal ultrasound and a magnetic resonance imaging for the local extension, and of a chest X-ray looking for pulmonary metastases. According to the literature pregnancy, a situation of immune depression, does not increase the prevalence of malignant neoplasms.
