Placental site trophoblastic tumor generally follows term pregnancy or nonmolar abortion. Thus far, 10 cases of placental site trophoblastic tumor have been described which were preceded by a hydatidiform mole. This is the first reported case where placental site trophoblastic tumor has been preceded by metastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasia treated by chemotherapy.
