[Leukemia and pregnancy. Review apropos of a clinical case].

A clinical case is presented of a 37 year old patient with acute myelocytic leukemia who conceived while in therapy. The pregnancy was controlled in our department in association with the Hematology Department. A cesarean section was performed in the 37th week of gestation, resulting in a healthy newborn. A review of literature is presented, analyzing the association between these two conditions, as well as repercussion on the mother and infant and the recommended obstetric management.
