Most women received cisplatin-based chemotherapy. There are no pub¬lished reports on the use of docetaxel for ovarian cancer in pregnancy. Case A 32-year-old pregnant lady underwent laparatomy at I8-week gestation for ruptured ovarian cyst. The preg¬nancy was the result of in vitro fertilization with intracyto¬plasmic sperm injection. Left salpingo-oophorectomy and omental biopsy were done. A diagnosis of stage IIIC, poorly differentiated papillary serous adenocarcinoma of the ovary was made. She was given four cycles of cisplati¬num and docetaxel followed by cesarean hysterectomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy, and cytoreductive surgery. The mother is well and has completed six cycle of chemo¬therapy. Conclusion This is the first report on the use of docetaxel during pregnancy for ovarian cancer.
