Abstract
|
|
|
|
Choriocarcinoma, a type of germ cell tumor, responds well to cisplatin-containing combination chemotherapy, resulting in a long-term cure rate of 70~80%. After completion of chemotherapy, remained lesions are found in about 40%, despite of normalization of serum tumor marker. Surgical resection of residual tumor is recommended for diagnosis and treatment if possible. However, it is not possible to excise or to determine further treatment if there are multiple metastatic remained lesion. We report a case with multiple metastatic residual lesions which were evaluated using positron emission tomography to determine characteristics of tumors.
