BACKGROUND
Use of Dartmouth combination chemotherapy in pregnancy is scarcely reported, with only 1 report of its use in the late second and third trimesters and no report of its use in the first trimester.
CASE
This is the first reported case in which the Dartmouth combination chemotherapy regimen was inadvertently used in a pregnant woman during the first and second trimesters for treatment of metastatic melanoma. The infant was found to have isolated microphthalmos and severe hypermetropia at 1 year of age.
CONCLUSION
Although a causal relationship cannot be established from a single case, this report does provide useful information to discourage the use of this chemotherapy regimen in the first trimester, which is the critical period for organogenesis.
