Abstract:
A patient with choriocarcinoma presenting with acute abdominal pain due to splenic rupture from secondary deposits is reported. This rare case exhibited several other unusual features including coexisting bilateral ovarian teratomas and the absence of any evidence of a primary lesion. Several hemangiomata in the liver initially confused the clinic picture.
