Popis: We report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in 23 years old, 36 weeks pregnant female, who presented with a swelling in the vagina. Biopsy of the lesion led to profuse haemorrhage and emergency caesarean-section along with bilateral ligation of internal iliac arteries were required. Recovery was smooth and she was discharged from the hospital on the 5th postoperative day. Histopathology revealed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large B cell type (DLBCL). Further treatment by medical oncologist led to complete resolution of the tumour at three months.
