Metastatic cerebral choriocarcinoma without pelvic or pulmonary metastases

A unique case of chorionic carcinoma of the right frontal lobe of the brain with extensive subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhage is presented. No pelvic or pulmonary findings by physical or X-ray examination were present. The craniotomy, irradiation and chemotherapy effected a cure. A nephrectomy was necessary during the postoperative period.
