Abstract

Vaginal blood loss during pregnancy can, rarely, be caused by an underlying gynecological malignancy. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in women during the reproductive years and complicates 0.06–0.10% of all pregnancies [1]. In Europe, this number translates into 3,000–5,000 new cases of cancer during pregnancy. As women in developed societies delay childbearing to the third or fourth decade of life, and the incidence of several malignancies rises with increasing age, this coincidence of cancer and pregnancy is likely to become more common in future [2].
