RESUMEN
The symptoms of gastric carcinoma are nonspecific and uncharacteristic especially during the pregnancy. Two cases of gastric carcinoma in pregnancy are reported. In both cases the diagnosis of the malignoma was not made in an early stage. Therefore both women died within a short period after the delivery due to the metastasis of the gastric cancer. The newborns survived the complicated pregnancy and they were born spontaneously and by cesarean section. The reasons for the delayed diagnosis and the problems of this malignoma during a pregnancy are discussed based on the own observations and the published cases.

Neutrophil peroxidase activity was determined before delivery in 46 pregnant women. 36 of these women were also tested on the 1st day and 30 on the 3rd day after delivery. A significant increase in the average values of neutrophil peroxidase activity was found in all parturients as compared with the controls. The highest peroxidase activity was observed before parturition. The possible mechanism of these changes is discussed.
