A pure ovarian choriocarcinoma is a very rare disease which can be either pregnancy related (gestational), may not
be related (non-gestational), or commonly correlated with different type of germ cell; teratocarcinoma,
dysgerminoma or undifferentiated carcinoma. A pure non-gestational primary ovarian choriocarcinoma is
astronomically uncommon and we recorded such condition in 14-year-old teenage girl’s ovary. An abdominal
operative procedure with the help of a careful histopathology examination revealed choriocarcinoma in absence of
other type of germ cell element. Multiple courses of Etoposide/Methotrexate/Actinomycin-D (EMA) regime of
chemotherapy were shown to be effective in this case.

Intracerebral metastatic choriocarcinoma is characterized by acute apoplexy bue to vascular invasion with tumor emboli. We experienced 3 cases of intracerebral metastatic choriocarcinoma having such a apoplexy and rebleeding.

9.A series of missing primaries: Pulmonary metastasis in Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia in the absence of uterine tumors

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasias (GTN) are extremely aggressive tumors derived from placental trophoblasts. These tumors are always the sequalae of a pregnancy. Choriocarcinoma, which is the most common of these, is typically characterized by early extra-pelvic hematogenous spread. Since the progression of illness is rapid, timely diagnosis and treatment will favor improved chances for cure, whereas late commencement of therapy will make resolution difficult. The diagnosis of GTN is straightforward with an elevated beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and distinct sonographic features of the tumor inside the uterus. However, very rarely, this disease may occur in the absence of uterine tumors. Practicing physicians must be mindful that GTN may initially manifest with pulmonary symptoms and/or radiographic evidence of metastatic lung lesions. In this series, the features pertaining to the clinical course of three patients are described, all of whom presented with pulmonary masses, elevated β-hCG, and normal transvaginal sonograms.

10.Primary pulmonary Epithelioid Trophoblastic tumor co-existing with Choriocarcinoma

A 28-year old, G5P4 (4014), noted neck lymph nodes associated with cough. A chest X-ray was done showing a left nodular opacity. Antibiotics were prescribed with a resolution of symptoms. Five months after, a routine chest X-ray revealed interval progression in size of the lung nodule. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan and positron-emission tomography scan were done subsequently showing the precise location and size of the nodule and with no other focus of tumor seen. Transvaginal ultrasound was normal. With an initial diagnosis of lung carcinoma, a percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy under CT scan guidance was done. Immunohistochemical staining panel showed that beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was positive. Subsequently, a serum beta-hCG done showed low levels from 33.48 to 59.7 mIU/ml. The final diagnosis given was a poorly differentiated malignancy highly suggestive of malignant trophoblastic tumor. A video-assisted left upper lobectomy was performed with histopathology and immunohistochemistry consistent with epithelioid trophoblastic tumor with co-existing choriocarcinoma elements. Postoperative beta-hCG level dropped to normal and remained so for 2½ years.
