Abstract
A 41‐year‐old woman with advanced abdominal adenocarcinoma presented at term pregnancy. The tumor was presented as previa and obstructed the delivery. A cesarean section was performed and a healthy child was born. At surgery diffuse metastatic disease was detected throughout the pelvis and abdomen and was partially resected. Combined chemotherapy consisting of cis‐platinum, adriamycin and cytoxan was administered for 5 months. At second‐look laparotomy no residual disease was found. We present an unusual presentation of metastatic abdominal undifferentiated carcinoma treated as ovarian cancer.
