Popis: A case of acute myelomonocytic leukaemia in pregnancy with successful outcome is reported. Aspects of management are reviewed, especially with regard to expected complications following cytostatic therapy and the effects on both mother and fetus. The need to determine the optimal time for elective delivery is emphasized. The seasons for formation of an international tumour registry are outlined. The disease can no longer be regarded as invariably fatal for mother and child.
