متن کاملRadiographically occult pulmonary metastases from gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a spectrum of diseases including partial and complete hydatidiform moles, placental site trophoblastic tumor, and choriocarcinoma.

It is common practice to use chest x-ray for the detection of pulmonary metastasis. Compute...
