Leptomeningeal spread of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in a 19-year old woman
We report a case of a patient with gestational trophoblastic disease that metastasized to the lung and leptomeninges, who after treatment with induction chemotherapy using etoposide (E) and cisplatin (P) followed by etoposide, methotrexate and dactinomycin (EMA) chemotherapy achieved a complete response without brain radiation (Han et al., 2012).
