Background. Gastric carcinoma in pregnancy is rare and extremely difficult to diagnose due to the fact that most of the symptoms of the disease mimic the manifestations of pregnancy pathologies.
Description. This paper describes a case of gastric carcinoma with ovarian metastases during pregnancy. The patient delivered at 28—29 weeks’ gestation for progressive preeclampsia. A left ovarian tumor-like mass was intraoperatively found. The histological findings revealed signet-ring cell carcinoma of the stomach.
Conclusion. Thus, the course of the disease during pregnancy failed to timely diagnose gastric carcinoma. The symptoms of the disease were masked by obstetric complications.
