  ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is the most common and deadliest cancer in women. The association of breast cancer and pregnancy is relatively rare and has a poor prognosis due to often late diagnosis and a high potential for lymphatic dissemination. It poses many diagnostic, therapeutic, prognostic and psychological problems. We report a case of ductal carcinoma of the breast associated with pregnancy in a 27-year-old patient. The diagnosis was late as well as the care which began 4 weeks after delivery. Obstetrically, a caesarean section was performed at 36 weeks. The perinatal prognosis was good; however, the mother died after the first course of chemotherapy.
