Diagnosing and treating rare lesions in a low resource setting: lessons from ahybrid epithelioid trophoblastic tumor and choriocarcinoma.

Conclusion: Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor and its hybrids are difficult to diagnose. They may be diagnosed as moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma especially in low resource settings where cervical squamous cell carcinoma is relatively more common. A high index of suspicion, a serum β HCG test and close collaboration between clinicians and pathologists can help make the diagnosis. Funding: None. PMID: 29622835 [PubMed - in process]
