Abstract:
This report describes a 53-year-old white woman with metastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasia that recurred after evacuation of an accidental pregnancy and did not respond sufficiently to treatment with a combination of methotrexate, actinomycin D, and chlorambucil. After second-line treatment with a combination of cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin, there was a complete remission. Afterward, the patient suffered from a moderate bleomycin pneumonitis, which resolved spontaneously. She is now free of disease and feeling well 60 months after her last treatment.
