abstract: Through a retrospective study of 50 cervix carcinoma during pregnancy, the authors determine the epidemiology, discuss the therapeutic and the pronostic. The mean age of patients were 36 years and the clinical staging of FIGO found : 3 stages Ia, 3 Ib, 7 IIa, 14 IIb, 7 IIIa, 7 IIIb, 4 IVa, 5 IVb The diagnosis of carcinoma was in 6 cases(12%) at first trimester, in 6 cases(12%) at midtrimester, in 13 cases(27%) at third trimester, in 19 cases(28%) after delivery. The termination of pregnancy was an abortion in 6 cases(12%). The treatment was: 29 delivery whose 12 followed bycolpohysterectomy,1 byconisation and 16 had not a colpohysterectomy. 5 cesarean section whose 2 followed by colpohysterectomy in the same time and 3 in the second time. The radiotherapy was neoadjuvant in 3 cases and adjuvant in 3 cases. The mortality was 4 % and the global survival at 5 years was 30%. The prognostic of the cervix carcinoma during pregnancy would get better by Pap test which must be systematic at the pregnant woman.
