Popis: Lactic acidosis B is a rare metabolic complication of malignancy. It usually is associated with advanced and extensive metastatic disease. The authors report a case in which lactic acidosis was the presenting feature of a previously undiagnosed case of metastatic breast cancer in a pregnant woman and that resolved with successful antineoplastic treatment. The authors review the likely cause and management of the condition.
