Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) includes the abnormal pregnancies complete (CHM) and partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) and the malignant gestational trophoblastic tumours (GTT) invasive mole (IM), choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) and epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (ETT). While many genetic studies have been performed in both CHM and PHM, similar studies of t...

Choriocarcinoma is a subtype of gestational trophoblastic disease. It very rare neoplasm, with incidence about 1 case in 40.000 pregnancies. Gestational form choriocarcinoma arises most commonly after abortion, while nongestational develops from pluripotent germ cells. Choricarcinoma highly malignant and chemosensitive type tumor. A 43-year-old patient diagnosed extra uterine pregnancy Septembe...

Giant cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare and an aggressive tumor that should be distinguished from other endometrial tumors with a prominent giant cell component, including trophoblastic tumors, certain primary sarcomas, and malignant mixed müllerian tumors. At present, cumulative data on this rare histological variant is limited and the prognostic significance of the presence and the ...

Placental site trophoblastic tumor is a very rare variant of gestational trophoblastic disease which differs histologically and immunocytochemically from gestational choriocarcinoma. The English language literature includes only 74 reported cases. Seventeen patients have been managed at Charing Cross Hospital with this diagnosis. The median follow-up is 4.6 years, and the 5-year overall surviva...

UNLABELLED Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive method for evaluating vascularization and is widely used in clinical practice. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia includes a group of highly vascularized malignancies derived from placental cells. This review summarizes data found in the literature regarding the applications of Doppler ultrasound in managing patients with gestational trophoblasti...

Introduction. Gestational trophoblastic disease represents a distinguished group of disorders that are derived from placental tissue aroused abnormal fertilization. Choriocarcinoma is malignant human chorionic gonadotropin-producing epithelial tumor arising villous trophoblast. The choice the chemotherapy regime based on International Federation Gynecology and Obstetrics stage World Health Orga...

background: the pathogenesis of gestational trophoblastic disease (gtd) is not clearly known. objective: in this study, immunoexpression of proteins bcl-2 and beclin-1 in trophoblastic lesions and normal trophoblastic tissue was conducted to study the mechanism of apoptotic and autophagic cell death that is expected to complete the study of gtd pathogenesis. materials and methods: bcl-2 and bec...
