| description | Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a disease of women in reproductive age. It is one of the most chemotherapy responsive and
highly curable cancer. It is diagnosed when there is clinical, radiologic, pathologic, and/or hormonal evidence of persistent or relapsed gestational trophoblastic disease. In most instances, it is cured by surgical evacuation of the uterus. If persistent, it is treated with chemotherapy
which provides response in >90% of the cases. In the unresponsive persistent cases and if the women has completed her child bearing,
hysterectomy is generally recommended. Here, we report a rare case of chemoresistant GTN which was confirmed to be placental-site
trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) on biopsy. |
