AB We present here a multigravida patient who presented with a huge neck swelling, severe respiratory distress together with dysphagia and hoarseness of voice while she was pregnant ± 30 weeks of gestation. She was diagnosed as an aggressive non-Hodjkin lymphoma of the thyroid gland. She was treated by 6 cycles of chemotherapy, with dramatic response after receiving the first cycle. She had 3 cycles of 4 chemotherapeutic agents before successful, elective and scheduled induction of labor at 36 weeks of gestation with favorable outcomes.
