Cesarean section scar choriocarcinoma, an unusual entity with ultrasound, MRI and pathologic correlation

Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is an uncommon form of ectopic pregnancy, which is embedded in the myometrium of a prior cesarean scar. In this paper, the authors describe and examine a rare case of cesarean scar choriocarcinoma in a 52-year-old premenopausal female who presented to ER with heavy vaginal bleeding with blood clots. The patient's transvaginal ultrasound initially demonstrated a classic “snow storm” appearance within a cesarean section scar, suspicious for molar pregnancy and/or gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD).
