We reported two cases of metastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasms with bizarre pulmonary symptoms, one patient with small bowel metastasis, and two patients with brain metastasis presenting with unusual manifestations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Due to the characteristic of GTN, clinical manifestations can be varied like in the present patient who presented symptoms other than the typical symptoms of GTN, which can cause confusion in managing patients. [synapse.koreamed.org]

We present a case of a young woman who presented 30 days after evacuation of a molar pregnancy with invasive and metastatic GTN complicated by a uterine rupture and hemoperitoneum. [westjem.com]

• Chills

  She denied fever, chills, emesis, syncope, dyspnea, chest pain, or vaginal bleeding, and she had no urinary symptoms. [westjem.com]

• Right Flank Pain

  After a week, she presented to the emergency department with a history of acute onset of severe right flank pain that started 3 hours ago. At that time of the visit, hemoglobin was 8.2 g/dL, and decreased to 5.1 g/dL within one hour. [synapse.koreamed.org]

• Skin Lesion

  However, the incidence rates of myelosuppression (white blood cell decline), gastrointestinal reactions (nausea, vomiting, dental ulcer, and diarrhea), skin lesions and phlebitis were lower in the tegafur group than in the 5-Fu group (P 0.05). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Foul Smelling Vaginal Discharge

  Clinical examination confirmed an abdominal uterine mass of 22 weeks’ gestation with a foul-smelling vaginal discharge. [sajhivmed.org.za]

• Adnexal Tenderness

  Her pelvic examination showed scant brown fluid in the vaginal vault with diffuse and significant uterine and adnexal tenderness to palpation. Laboratory testing demonstrated a quantitative serum HCG level of 14,552 mIU/mL. [westjem.com]

For example, the section on noninvasive hydatidiform mole recommends the tests that should be routinely performed during workup, followed by surgery with either suction, dilation and curettage – preferably under ultrasound guidance – or hysterectomy for [mdedge.com]

Diagnostic workup includes complete bloodwork, HCG and CT chest/abdomen/pelvis /- CT or MR brain. [bccancer.bc.ca]

In borderline cases, the final diagnosis of invasion versus non-invasion is confirmed only by histopathology and hence all the evacuated moles need to undergo a complete pathological workup. [sonoworld.com]

A patient with gestational trophoblastic neoplasm failed treatment with several standard chemotherapy regimens and had progressive disease with development of lung and brain metastases and a rising HCG level. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Conclusions : Hysterectomy is a safe and effective treatment method, especially for GTNs which are resistant to conventional treatment. keywords: adjuvant hysterectomy; gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, surgical treatment references: Brewer JI, Eckman [termedia.pl]

Histologic grading or hydatidiform moles is relevant to their prognosis and biologic behavior. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The overall recovery rate is around 99%. The prognosis is very closely related to the rapidity of diagnosis, the risk level of the tumor (low or high) and the suitability of treatment. [orpha.net]

Etiology The etiology of gestational trophoblastic tumors is not known. [orpha.net]

Abstract Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a condition of uncertain etiology, comprised of a hydatidiform mole (complete and partial), invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, epithelioid trophoblastic tumour and placental site trophoblastic tumour. [signavitae.com]
