Introduction: A young and healthy gravida-2 para-1 woman presented to a regional hospital with a spontaneous (pre-labor) uterine rupture at 34 weeks 3 days gestation.
Case Report: She had undergone multi-agent chemotherapy for breast cancer, two weeks after her first cesarean delivery four years prior. No known causative factor for uterine rupture other than having an uncomplicated cesarean section was found.
Conclusion: This case report considers whether the effects of chemotherapy on the wound healing process might have contributed to an increased risk for uterine rupture.
Keywords: Cesarean section, Chemotherapy, Spontaneous, Uterine rupture
