Abstract
|
|
|
The majority of choriocarcinomas are known to arise from the embryonic chorion. Chori:ocarcinoma may follow or coexist with a hydatidiform mole, normal or abnormal pregnancy, or abortion The primary lesion is, therefore, usually harbored in the uterus. Teratomatous choriocarcinoma, on the other hand, is generally located in the gonads or, rarely, in other sites of the body.
Since primary location of the nonteratomatous choriocarcinoma is usually in the genital organs, when the lesion is found at other sites it i;~ considered to be an ectopic lesion.
Several reports of ectopic choriocarcinomas without evidence of trophophoblastic tumors in genital organs have appeared in the literature.
The purpose of this paper is to report a case with ectopic choriocarcinoma in the small intestine. The patient had complaired massive intestinal hemorrhage. The primary trophoblastic tumors were not found in the uterus.
