ABSTRACT

Choriocarcinoma is part of the set of diseases resulting from the trophoblast. It is a tumor with a high capacity of vascular invasion and dissemination, the organs most often affected are: lung, vagina, central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, liver, kidney. It is highly aggressive and lethal, has a mortality of 10 to 15%, although it is diagnosed and treated properly. The gestational choriocarcinoma is preceded by a molar pregnancy, rarely for a term abortion or childbirth. The latest theories suggest that in every pregnancy there is a hold trophoblast cells that degenerate spontaneously. For the postpartum choriocarcinoma cell transformation occurs after retained placental fragments.
