Abstract

Gestational choriocarcinoma is rare. The intraplacental formation of choriocarcinoma is much rarer. We present a diagnosis of choriocarcinoma, 4 months postpartum, in a 28-year-old, presenting with vaginal bleeding. Three weeks after the last chemotherapy session, the patient's β-HCG titer was normal and did not require hysterectomy.

Keywords: case reports; choriocarcinoma; placenta diseases; rare diseases; term pregnancy.
