ABSTRACT

Background: Choriocarcinoma is a malignant neoplasm of the trophoblastic epithelium, very aggressive but highly curable, even when there is metastasis. It can be of gestational and non-gestational origin, the first one can develop after a pregnancy, abortion or molar pregnancy; in Mexico it is calculated with an incidence of 0.133 per 100,000 women. While the incidence of non-gestational choriocarcinoma is unknown as it is reported as a very rare tumor. The objective is present the first case reported in our hospital, there are few cases reported in Mexico, it is important to know them in order to identify, diagnose and refer them on time.
Clinical case: A 14-year-old patient who presented to the emergency department with a picture of acute abdomen with pregnancy test in positive urine and tumor in the right adnexal region, laparotomy was performed, finding a tumor dependent on the right annex with a broken capsule attached to the colon, one day after the surgical event (due to lack of resources in the unit) beta fraction of chorionic gonadotropin, the definitive diagnosis was made by the histopathological study of the surgical piece.
Conclusion: Choriocarcinoma is a malignant neoplasm of the trophoblastic epithelium, very aggressive but highly curable, even when metastases are detected. In Mexico, the incidence of gestational choriocarcinoma is 0.133 per 100,000 women, while the incidence of non-gestational cariocarcinoma is unknown, it is reported as a very rare tumor, which is why accurate and early diagnosis is difficult in this type of tumors. , since the most common presentation is an acute abdomen.
