Abstract
|
|
|
|
Choriocarcinoma is a germ-cell tumor that originates from syncytiotrophoblastic cells and this tumor secrets beta-human chorionic gonadotropin. It has been reported that extragonadal primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma is extremely rare. We report here on a 28-years-old woman who underwent right lower lobectomy for extragonadal nongestational primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma and she has survived for 2 years without recurrence.
