Abstract
We report the case of a 44-year-old presenting with breathlessness in her second trimester of pregnancy diagnosed with pulmonary diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) which was further complicated by a placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder. In pregnancy, she was treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, oncovin and prednisolone, which was associated with neutropenic sepsis requiring admissions to the intensive care unit with respiratory compromise. She safely delivered an infant at 31 weeks but required a hysterectomy at the time for PAS and seven days ventilation on the intensive care unit post-operatively. It is the first case report of DLBCL and PAS in pregnancy.
