Cancer that occurs inside the pregnant or during the first postpartum year (or throughout lactation time) is considered gestational. The diagnosis of this entity is intrinsically accompanied by ethical problems when making clinical decisions about the disease and the newborn future [1,2]. Nowadays a modern medical treatment achieves treat cancer with the same prognosis than no-pregnant population and childbirth without any sequela. Spanish consensus of different specializations (Surgery, gynecology, radiology and radiotherapy and medical oncology) on the last year have published recommendations that allow harmonization of management and review the last advances in cancer in pregnancy [3].

The incidence of colorectal cancer in pregnancy is between 0.002 and 0.008%. Diagnosis is often delayed as symptoms of colorectal cancer can mimic as common complaints of pregnancy. We present the case of a 29-year-old with a history of chronic constipation who presented in the second trimester with abdominal pain, inability to tolerate anything orally and no bowel movement in more than three weeks. Non-contrast MRI at presentation failed to show an obstructing mass. Patient was treated conservatively for presumed pseudo-obstruction secondary to worsening constipation from chronic ondansetron use and pregnancy. After four days without clinical improvement, she had a colonoscopy that revealed a completely obstructing sigmoid mass, which biopsies confirmed was a primary colorectal adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent a total abdominal colectomy. She was referred to medical oncology and began adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaloplatin four weeks post-operatively.
