Abstract

A case of maternal adenocarcinoma of the rectum with extensive intervillous involvement is presented and the western world's literature is reviewed. Detectable fetal involvement by maternal malignancy is rare, although maternofetal transmission of malignant cells is probably more frequent than realized. The factors affecting transmission of tumor to the fetus are: tumor cell type, maternal arterial dissemination, intervillous sequestration, transvillous passage, fetal dissemination, and fetal response.
