Abstract: This paper reports a case of fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH), which was diagnosed as choriocarcinoma due to late postpartum hemorrhage 20 days after full-term vaginal delivery. The patient fully recovered after chemotherapy combined with surgical treatment, and no disease progression was observed during a one-year follow-up. Choriocarcinoma is one of the risk factors for FMH. Therefore, it is suggested that the placenta should be examined in any suspected cases of FMH. Maternal human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) level should also be monitored after delivery for early diagnosis and better prognosis of choriocarcinoma.
