The occurrence of cancer during pregnancy is a delicate event for the obstetrician and the oncologist, because many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures usually used are inapplicable during pregnancy. The discovery of cervical cancer during 3rd trimester pregnancy is a rare but not exceptional event. The difficulty of the question lies in balancing maternal and fetal well-being: How to obtain effective treatment for cervical cancer without compromising pregnancy? The low frequency of this situation did not allow the performance of randomized studies. We report a case of a primiparous patient in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy in who stage IIB FIGO cervical cancer was discovered.
