Abstract
Anti-neoplastic drugs are known to have teratogenic effects on the fetus. In this case report we are presenting a case of a patient who got operated for breast carcinoma, conceived while on chemotherapy and underwent termination of pregnancy in the second trimester. Fetal haemorrhage and ecchymosis lead to further evaluation of the case, which revealed fetal thrombocytopenia, a rare teratogenic effect of the anti-neoplastic drugs.
