[Gastric cancer in pregnancy--a case report].
Authors describe a case of gastric carcinoma diagnosed during 27th week of pregnancy in 27-year-old woman with mild gastrointestinal symptoms in second and third trimester accompanied with severe anemia. Gastrofiberoscopy with a biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of diffused gastric adenocarcinoma. Sudden symptoms of premature labour in 33-rd week of pregnancy finished with a premature labor. Child died a day after and the patient died 6 days after the labour because of diffused neoplasmatic changes. Authors suggest that gastrofiberoscopy should always be considered if pregnant woman in second or third trimester has still gastrointestinal symptoms and anemia which is not explained.
