Summary/Abstract: This article describes the case of a 40-year-old patient who was diagnosed with an advanced recurrence of melanoma with the BRAF V600E mutation in the 30th week of pregnancy. Due to the patient’s condition, abnormalities in laboratory tests and the coexistence of chronic intravascular coagulation syndrome, it was decided to terminate the pregnancy in the 31st week by caesarean section. Due to the rapid progression of the disease, the patient died on the 25th day after the birth of a healthy baby.
