Trophoblastic pseudotumor: An illustrative case
Diagnostic Gynecology and Obstetrics
|January 1, 1980
Abstract:
A case of trophoblastic pseudotumor of the uterus is presented. Erroneous interpretations of the specimens derived from curettage and hysterectomy resulted in surgery and chemotherapy. Emphasis in this report is on histologic criteria which aid in distinguishing this lesion from choriocarcinoma. Hormone production and persistence of the tumor for several months after curettage are also documented.
