Abstract

A 26‐year‐old patient with acute lymphatic leukemia conceived while on systemic chemotherapy. This patient experienced relapse during the second trimester, and a second complete hematologic remission was achieved with doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine, and prednisone. A 2400‐gram, but otherwise normal, male infant was delivered by Caesarean section during the 36th gestational week. Growth and development of this child is normal at six months.
