Uterine Rupture Due to Invasive Metastatic Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasm
نویسندگان
چکیده
While complete molar pregnancies are rare, they are wrought with a host of potential complications to include invasive gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Persistent gestational trophoblastic disease following molar pregnancy is a potentially fatal complication that must be recognized early and treated aggressively for both immediate and long-term recovery. We present the case of a 21-year-old woman with abdominal pain and presyncope 1 month after a molar pregnancy with a subsequent uterine rupture due to invasive gestational trophoblastic neoplasm. We will discuss the complications of molar pregnancies including the risks and management of invasive, metastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.

The disease includes a) hydatidiform mole (partial and complete), b) invasive mole, c) choriocarcinoma and d) placental site trophoblastic tumors. Current management is based on several prognostic risk factors. We describe an interesting case of a 51-year–old woman who presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding a...
متن کاملUnusual presentation of gestational trophoblastic neoplasm: Report of two cases
Abstract: Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasm (GTN) is among rare human tumors which can be observed with widespread metastasis. Two young patients with emergent neurologic symptoms with no gynecological problems are presented in this report. GTN was later diagnosed in both cases with brain metastasis. The first case: A 22 years old patient, admitted to the infectious disease ward, with probab...
