Coriocarcinoma de placenta metast ásico en embarazo de 34 semanas. Revisión y manejo

We present the case of a 22-year-old nulliparous woman who spontaneously presents metrorrhagia with hemoptysis in the course of pregnancy at the 34th week. A tomography scan is performed to confirm nodules compatible with metastasis, cataloguing it as a possible metastatic choriocarcinoma. A cesarean section is preferably scheduled and treatment with chemotherapy is initiated. Choriocarcinoma is a tumor very sensitive to chemotherapy and has a high survival rate, although in metastatic cases the disease is usually fatal.PMID:34352873 | DOI:10.24875/CIRU.19001402
