Metastatic Gestational Trophoblastic Tumor Presenting as Spontaneous Kidney Rupture: Treatment with Embolization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Choriocarcinoma is a rapidly growing tumor that characteristically outgrows its blood supply. We report a rare case of metastatic choriocarcinoma presenting with acute right flank pain due to kidney rupture secondary to renal metastasis. The renal metastasis was embolised to stanch blood for control of hemorrhage. A brief review of the imaging features and therapeutic options for the ruptured renal metastases is discussed along with the case.

متن کاملLaparoscopic splenectomy for splenic rupture secondary to metastatic choriocarcinoma
Gestational choriocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive type of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, which is characterized by early vascular invasion and widespread metastases. Choriocarcinoma metastasizes hematogenously, and bleeding from metastases is common. Splenic rupture from a metastatic tumour is exceedingly rare, with only a few reports. We report a case of a 41-year-old female presentin...

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a condition of uncertain etiology, choriocarcioma, or placental-site hydatidiform moles, invasive moles, choriocarcinoma, and placental-site trophoblastic tumors. It arises from the abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic tissue and spreads beyond the uterus hematogenously. The early diagnosis of GTD is important to ensure timely and successful managem...
