Abstract:
A young woman with an occult bronchogenic carcinoma presented with secondary amenorrhea and an elevated beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin that was mistakenly attributed to pregnancy. Physicians should be aware that this carcinoma may present solely with an elevated beta human chorionic gonadotropin value, and the potential exists for confusion with a pregnancy state in women of childbearing age.
