Choriocarcinoma and Gestational Trophoblastic Disease
Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2005Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) encompasses a unique group of uncommon but interrelated conditions derived from placental trophoblasts. For the purposes of discussion GTD is the appropriate collective name for hydatidiform mole, whereas the term gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is reserved for cases with persistent human chorionic ...

Gestational choriocarcinoma of the ovary
Gynecologic Oncology, 1980Abstract A case of gestational choriocarcinoma of the ovary in which Spiegelberg's criteria are met is presented. The primacy of such a lesion is discussed. The distinction between nongestational and gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma is described.

Metastatic gestational choriocarcinoma: Two cases
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1988Gestational choriocarcinoma is a rare, aggressive cancer of post-partum women. It metastasizes rapidly and can initially appear with involvement of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, genitourinary, or central nervous systems. Some reported cases show only metastatic foci with apparent spontaneous resolution of the primary site.

Cutaneous metastasis of gestational choriocarcinoma
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2002A 40-year-old woman presented with subcutaneous masses on her chest wall, abnormal vaginal bleeding and an enlarged uterus. Chest X-ray and liver ultrasound revealed metastatic disease to these sites, respectively. A urine human chorionic gonadotrophin assay was positive.

Trends in Gestational Choriocarcinoma
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2003To evaluate trends in incidence and survival rates for gestational choriocarcinoma with the use of population-based data.Overall and 5-year average age-adjusted incidence rates were computed with the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program public-use database.

Primary Intraplacental Gestational Choriocarcinoma
International Journal of Gynecological Pathology, 2013Gestational choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant form of gestational trophoblastic tumors. Placental involvement of the tumor is exceedingly rare. We describe a case of intraplacental choriocarcinoma in a full-term placenta. Microscopically, there were sheets of highly pleomorphic trophoblasts invading the placenta, leaving isolated chorionic villi ...

Radioimmunoscintigraphic detection of occult gestational choriocarcinoma
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1987Localized recurrent gestational choriocarcinoma, evidenced by a rising level of the beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin, can be difficult to localize for surgical resection. We describe a patient with a rising level of the beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin after extensive therapy for choriocarcinoma in which gamma scanning of the ...

Choriocarcinoma is a rare, highly malignant trophoblastic tumor with gestational or, rarely, germ cell origin. Primary extragenital localization is extremely rare. This report describes a choriocarcinoma case clinically mimicking a primary renal cell carcinoma with multiplex pulmonary metastases. Differentiation from a sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma

General & diagnostic pathology, 1998
The malignant transformation of trophoblast is interesting to contemplate, as trophoblast normally behaves in a manner that is interpreted as indicative of malignancy. First of all, trophoblasts show "controlled invasion" at the placental site as part of the normal process of implantation.

[Metastases of gestational choriocarcinoma].
Dakar medical, 1991The authors cover two cases of gestational choriocarcinoma metastasis with differing clinical profiles, and raise the problem of the diversity of localisations for this affliction. They underline the importance of biology in diagnosis, particularly if the molar abortion is little known, and stress the therapeutical snares, before proposing appropriate ...
