Abstract

Here, the authors present a case of a placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) in a 28-year-old gravida 1 para 1 living 1 woman three months after vaginal delivery of a female infant at diagnosis in 2014. The patient was FIGO Stage I and finally underwent a total laparoscopic hysterectomy with ovarian conservation. Subsequently, the patient received two cycles of EMA/CO chemotherapy. Patient is on regular follow-up (clinical exam, β-hCG tests, pelvic and abdominal sonography) and has shown no signs of local or systemic recurrence for 24 months.
