Primary ovarian choriocarcinoma mimicking ectopic pregnancy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nongestational ovarian choriocarcinoma is an exceedingly rare and highly aggressive tumor. Although early diagnosis and timely initiation of therapy is important, it is difficult in reproductive aged patients because of the frequent elevation of human chorionic gonadotropin. We report a primarily nongestational ovarian choriocarcinoma in a 12-year-old virgin female. Initial diagnosis based on abdominopelvic computed tomography and pelvis magnetic resonance imaging was ectopic pregnancy with hemoperitoneum. A diagnostic laparoscopy of the ovarian tumor revealed choriocarcinoma. Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and omental sampling revealed surgical stage of IA. Six courses of adjuvant combination chemotherapy (bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin) followed surgery.

Cervicoisthmic choriocarcinoma mimicking cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy
Primary choriocarcinoma of the uterine cervix is an extremely rare disease. The clinical diagnosis of cervical choriocarcinoma is difficult, because of its rarity and being non-specific abnormal vaginal bleeding the most common symptom. In the present report, the authors present a case of cervical choriocarcinoma, which was initially misdiagnosed as a cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy. Re...
متن کاملGestational choriocarcinoma with uterine serosal metastasis mimicking ruptured ectopic pregnancy: A case report.
Primary gestational choriocarcinoma is commonly present in the uterus in cases of atypical genital bleeding. Symptoms similar to those of an ectopic pregnancy develop when an extra-uterine lesion is present in the abdominal cavity, and lesions have been detected in the ovaries and fallopian tubes in a number of cases. In the present study, we describe a patient with choriocarcinoma that metasta...
متن کاملPure nongestational ovarian choriocarcinoma: A scoping review
Choriocarcinoma of the ovary is a rare and highly malignant germ cell tumor. There are three ways in which an ovarian choriocarcinoma can arise: as a primary gestational choriocarcinoma that results from an ectopic ovarian pregnancy, as a metastatic choriocarcinoma that arises from a gestational choriocarcinoma, and as a germ cell tumor with differentiation into trophoblastic structures. Ovaria...

Tumours of the fallopian tube are much less common than the corresponding ovarian neoplasms; however, histologically the same surface epithelial-stromal tumour subtypes are recognized. Sex cord-stromal and germ cell tumours are rare. H y d a t i d i f o rm moles and gestational choriocarcinoma are uncommon complications of tubal ectopic pregnancy. The wolffian adnexal tumour is also infrequent ...
متن کاملPancreatic and Hepatic Metastasis of an Undiagnosed Choriocarcinoma: An Exceptional Cause of Haemoperitoneum in Young Women – Report of a Rare Case
Haemoperitoneum in women of reproductive age usually suggests either ruptured ectopic pregnancy or ruptured ovarian cysts. Metastatic choriocarcinoma is considered the least common cause of haemoperitoneum in women of childbearing age. We report a rare case of pancreatic and hepatic metastasis of choriocarcinoma in a young, 30-year-old female who had delivered 10 months prior at term gestation ...
