CHORIOCARCINOMA

An interesting case of choriocarcinoma is presented here for its rarity. The incidence of gestational trophoblastic diseases range from 1 in 500 in India to 1 in 300 in USA. The malignant potential is 10-15 percent in Southeast Asia compared to 2-4 percent in Western countries. The malignant nonmetastatic or metastatic low risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia have an almost 100 percent possibility of cure with chemotherapy. Even the high risk neoplasia group has 75 percent cure rate. Hence a rare neoplasia with very good prognostic outcome has been presented here.
