Abstract
Background: Approximately 3% of cervical cancers are diagnosed during pregnancy, of which 75% are detected in early stages. The management may pose significant challenges because of the pregnant state. Case: We describe a case of rapidly progressing bulky cervical cancer complicating a late second trimester pregnancy. The case was successfully managed by induction of labor with misoprostol after induced fetal demise followed by radiation therapy with fetus in situ. Conclusion: In a late second trimester pregnancy complicated by rapidly progressing bulky cervical cancer, optimal outcome was achieved using a multidisciplinary approach. Fetal intra cardiac potassium chloride injection is helpful in the management of select cases.
