متن کاملA case of non-gestational choriocarcinoma arising in the ovary of a postmenopausal woman.
Primary ovarian choriocarcinoma arising from a germ cell is an extremely rare occurrence, especially in postmenopausal women, and the prognosis is poor. Non-gestational choriocarcinoma of the ovary (NGCO) accounts for 0.6% or less of all ovarian neoplasms. It is important to distinguish gestational choriocarcinomas of the ovary (GCO) from other carcinomas because of the poor prognosis of NGCO. ...

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...
