Abstract
|
|
|
Choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor in women of child-bearing age with potential for widespread dissemination via hematogenous metastasis and sensitive to chemotherapy. It can initially appear with involvement of gastrointestinal,
respiratory,
genitourinary, or central nervous system.
Although systemic chemotherapy is the major method of treatment due to intrinsic sensitivity of the tumor to drugs, some patients with poor prognosis can be treated by integration of chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy.
We report a case of choriocarcinoma metastasized to the kidney and brain which was cured by multimodality treatment at 7 months after the diagnosis.
