Primary cervical choriocarcinoma is a rare cancer. This case highlights its potential development after a Dilation and Curettage (D&C), emphasizing early diagnosis through beta hCG testing for women with postcoital bleeding.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Malignant Trophoblastic Disease

Background:

  • Primary cervical choriocarcinoma is a rare gestational trophoblastic neoplasm.
  • It presents diagnostic challenges, often mimicking other cervical pathologies.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 40-year-old Indian woman with primary cervical choriocarcinoma is presented.
  • The patient experienced postcoital bleeding with negative cervical cytology.

Findings:

  • Malignant transformation of a cervical pregnancy is a possibility.
  • Trophoblast implantation secondary to a prior Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a potential etiology.
  • Diagnosis requires consideration of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels.

Implications:

  • Primary cervical choriocarcinoma should be a differential diagnosis in women of childbearing age with unexplained postcoital bleeding.
  • Early beta hCG testing is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment initiation.
  • This case broadens understanding of rare gynecologic malignancies.
