background : gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (gtn) disease is excessive and inappropriate proliferation of trophoblast after termination of the pregnancy. many attempts have been made to improve follow-up procedures, but no studies have evaluated human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg) as a post treatment indicator. thus we aimed to know β-hcg variability in post treatment pregnancies.   method...

gestational trophoblastic neoplasia ( gtn) is one of the most common gynecologic tumors in our country. despite development of effective chemotherapy: some cases remain resistant and if there is only focus of tumor, resection would be indicated.we present a young woman with stage 1 persistant gtn showing no response to chemotherapy. transvaginal sonograpy revealed trophoblastic tissue in the ut...

OBJECTIVES: Doppler ultrasonography can be used to assess neoangiogenesis, a characteristic feature of postmolar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. However, there is limited information on whether uterine artery Doppler flow velocimetry parameters can predict gestational trophoblastic neoplasia following a complete hydatidiform mole. The purpose of this study was as follows: 1) to compare ute...

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...

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...

Gestational trophoblastic disease includes hydatidiform mole (complete and partial) and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor). The epidemiology, pathology, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of each of these trophoblastic disease variants are discussed. Particular emphasis is given to manag...

The authors present the computed tomographic findings in a patient with malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. No similar case has been described on computed tomography. The interesting aspects of the case and a brief review of this clinical entity is discussed. Pelvic computed tomography Ovary Malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasia Theta-lutein cysts

•Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia observed distant from antecedent pregnancy•Pneumothorax is a rare presentation of intermediate trophoblastic tumors.
