Abstract

Choriocarcinoma is present in one out of every 40,000 pregnancies. There is a great risk for incidence of the disease in women who become pregnant after 45 years of age. The clinical picture may vary and is related to the destruction of tissue and bleeding. New chemo protocols containing etoposide, cisplatin, ifosfamide, together with a resection of the focus resistant to chemotherapy, lead in most cases to the complete recovery.
