Massive Fetomaternal Hemorrhage Caused by an Intraplacental Choriocarcinoma: A Case Report

Background. Intraplacental choriocarcinoma is a rare but highly malignant trophoblastic neoplasm. When found near term the risk of maternal metastasis is high because of the late diagnosis. Case. We describe a case of an intraplacental choriocarcinoma diagnosed postpartum after a near-term delivery of a severely anemic infant. A fetomaternal hemorrhage resulted in a hemoglobin concentration in ...

Cutaneous Manifestation of Metastatic Infantile Choriocarcinoma

Infantile choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant rare germ cell tumor that arises from the placenta. Simultaneous intraplacental choriocarcinoma involving both mother and infant is extremely rare. Cutaneous metastasis in infantile choriocarcinoma is even rarer with only a few case reports available. Here we describe a case of a female neonate who presented to the ED with a rapidly growing and bl...

Intraplacental choriocarcinoma: a report of two cases.

Two examples of intraplacental choriocarcinoma are described. Both were small and had arisen in otherwise normal third trimester placentas. The covering mantle of many of the villi adjacent to the choriocarcinomas was formed, either focally or wholly, of neoplastic trophoblastic tissue: it is only at this stage of the development of a choriocarcinoma that villous structures are present, and a s...

Infantile and Maternal Choriocarcinoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Background: Choriocarcinoma is a rare highly malignant trophoblastic neoplasm. It can be preceded by any form of gestation including a complete or a partial mole, miscarriage and normal pregnancy. Simultaneous intraplacental choriocarcinoma involving both mother and infant is extremely rare. Hepatomegaly, anemia, elevated ßHCG is the diagnostic triad. Here we report a 6 weeks old Afghan girl in...
