Metastatic gestational choriocarcinoma: a masquerader in obstetrics

Irish Journal of Medical Science (1971 -), 2017
We describe a case of a 36-year-old woman presenting with vaginal bleeding and suboptimally rising serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels, who was investigated for a pregnancy of unknown location. Ultrasonography, laparoscopy and dilatation and curettage failed to reveal signs of an intra-uterine or intra-abdominal pregnancy.

Studies on antilymphocyte antibodies in gestational choriocarcinoma*

Human Reproduction, 1986
The mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR)-blocking activity of sera was examined in patients with gestational choriocarcinoma. The frequencies of human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) in seven choriocarcinoma patients and their husbands were not different from those in the normal Japanese population.

Radioimmunoscintigraphic detection of occult gestational choriocarcinoma

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1987
Localized 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 ...

Gestational choriocarcinoma of the cervix.

Archives of Iranian medicine, 2015
Choriocarcinoma is the most aggressive, malignant form of gestational trophoblastic disease and has varying incidence, increasing in patients older than 40 years. It usually develops after a malignant alteration in a molar pregnancy, but rarely after an abortion or normal or ectopic pregnancies.

Primary Intraplacental Gestational Choriocarcinoma

International Journal of Gynecological Pathology, 2013
Gestational 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 ...

Gestational choriocarcinoma.

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, 1991
The 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 ...

Gestational trophoblastic diseases and neonatal choriocarcinoma

Bulletin du Cancer
Trophoblastic diseases include benign pre-tumor entities (hydatidiform moles) and malignancies called gestational trophoblastic tumors. Most of the latter arise after a hydatidiform mole and are referred to as post-molar trophoblastic tumors. Their diagnosis relies on elevated human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) levels following a mole, without the ...

Enzymohistochemical study on the gestational choriocarcinoma: histochemistry of choriocarcinoma.

Cancer detection and prevention, 1983
Histochemical investigation of Al-p, HSAP, Ac-p, and LDH was performed with tissues of normal chorionic villi, H. mole, invasive mole, and choriocarcinoma with the following conclusions: 1. In the normal villous tissues, Al-p, HSAP, and Ac-p are localized in syncytiotrophoblast, the former two in the rim of the cell, and the latter inside the cytoplasm.
