A 26-weeks pregnant woman presented with progressively worsening dyspnoea and poor general conditions. Using low-dose radiation multi-imaging techniques and thoracic biopsy a primary mediastinal large B cell was diagnosed. A multidisciplinary approach identified the correct hemodynamic management, the best therapeutic strategy and the timing for delivery.
