AN UNUSUAL PRESENTATION OF CHORIO CARCINOMA PRESENTING WITH DIAGNOSTICDILEMMA- A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Abstract
Choriocarcinoma is the most malignant
tumor of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
Thetrophoblastic tumour presenting
as spontaneous uterine perforation
with hemoperitoneum is very rare. We
present a 30 year old parous woman,
who had completed her family and presented
with acute abdomen caused by
spontaneous rupture of uterus with internal
hemorrhage due to choriocarcinoma
following a live birth pregnancy. The long
time interval between the previous live
birth pregnancy and the acute onset of
the disease by uterine rupture as the first
symptom without any other symptoms
are presented and discussed in this case
report.
