Abstract:
Choriocarcinoma is so rare and presents such different pictures that its diagnosis may be delayed or missed entirely, depriving the patient of early treatment and the chance of a cure. This paper describes such a case and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a high degree of suspicion for trophoblastic disease and its complications.
