Primary cervical choriocarcinoma is extremely rare. Although rare, it is suggested that choriocarcinoma should be considered a possible cause of hemorrhage in a woman presenting with a cervical mass and a history of previous molar pregnancy. This is a case of a 50 year old woman with irregular vaginal bleeding for 3 weeks. A hemorrhagic cervical mass was detected by visual inspection. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy and postoperative chemotherapy. Biopsy revealed cervical choriocarcinoma.
