Abstract
The association between Hodgkin's disease and pregnancy is rare. Hodgkin's disease does not affect the normal progress of the pregnancy nor of the fetus. Pre-therapy investigations of Hodgkin's disease have to be modified by pregnancy and in particular radiological examinations. Three are certain recommendations to be considered: termination of pregnancy is sometimes indicated in the first trimester but it does not have to be carried out routinely. Chemotherapy can be used in pregnancy as can radiotherapy if the disease is localised to the sub-diaphragmatic area.
