A Well-Circumscribed Border with Peripheral Doppler Signal in Sonographic Image Distinguishes Epithelioid Trophoblastic Tumor from Other Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasms
As epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) shares similar clinical features with other gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTNs), it is likely to be clinically misdiagnosed and subsequently treated in an improper way. This study aimed to identify the sonographic features of ETT that are distinct from other GTNs, including placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) and invasive mole/choriocarcinom...

RATIONALE Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is a distinctive but rare gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) composed of chorionic-type intermediate trophoblast cells. Approximately 50% ETT arose from the uterine cervix or lower uterine segment following a previous pregnancy with vaginal bleeding. With its unusual ability to simulate an invasive epithelioid neoplasm, ETT frequently poses...
متن کاملA Rare Gestational Trophoblastic Disease: Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumor
Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is a highly rare form of gestational trophoblastic diseases that arise from intermediate trophoblastic cells. By presenting this case, we aimed to review the treatment and diagnosis, approach to PSTT. A 31-year-old (G2P1A1L1) patient had abnormal vaginal bleeding. Serum ß-HCG was 5.82 mIU/ml and the transvaginal USG detected a polypoid mass in uterine c...

Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is a very rare variant of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) which arises in reproductive age women with prior gestational history. Although abnormal vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom of ETT, there are no reported pathognomonic symptoms of ETT because of its rarity. ETT is similar to placental site trophoblastic tumor in terms of its slow gro...
متن کاملSonographic characteristics of placental site trophoblastic tumor.
OBJECTIVE To investigate clinical features and ultrasound findings in cases of placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT). METHODS Fourteen cases of PSTT treated at our institution between May 2004 and October 2010 were identified and the clinical features and findings on transvaginal sonography (TVS) were investigated. Pathological confirmation of PSTT was obtained in all cases. RESULTS The...
