Résumé
Pancreatic cancer is rarely diagnosed during pregnancy; it usually manifests with symptoms such as epigastric pain, vomiting, weight loss, and jaundice, rarely mimicking the hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count syndrome. It has been postulated that there exists a correlation between the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus and the occurrence of pancreatic cancer later in life. We conducted an expert literature review of the 31 available documented pancreatic cancer cases that were diagnosed during pregnancy. We also report pancreatic adenocarcinoma incidentally suspected in an asymptomatic woman affected by gestational diabetes mellitus; the woman was undergoing a fetal growth scan.
