A multidisciplinary team (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MDT<\/jats:styled-content>) approach is essential. This study reports the first series in the Australasian literature, describing our experience with and management of pregnant and post\u2010partum patients diagnosed with synchronous colorectal liver metastases (s<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CRLM<\/jats:styled-content>).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective review of prospectively collected data for patients with s<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CRLM<\/jats:styled-content> diagnosed during pregnancy or post\u2010partum, presenting to a tertiary referral hospital between 2009 and 2014, was performed.

Median age was 31 years (range 26\u201334). All patients were diagnosed with colorectal primary and synchronous liver lesions. All patients received folinic acid, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin chemotherapy, two intrapartum. One patient had both the primary lesion and liver metastases excised early post\u2010partum. Second\u2010line chemotherapy with folinic acid, fluorouracil, irinotecan and other biological agents was used in some cases post\u2010partum. One patient suffered a fetal loss, while the other four had uncomplicated live births. Median survival was 7.6 months, with two patients dying shortly after delivery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The diagnosis of m<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CRC<\/jats:styled-content> in pregnancy is challenging and survival is poor.
