Dr. P. Chandrasekhara Rao. , Dr. R. Krishna Keerthana

Abstract :

Gestational choriocarcinoma presenting as ectopic pregnancy is a very rare event with incidence of 1.5 in every 10,00,000 pregnancies. Here, we are presenting a case of 24yr old woman with obstetric formula G2P1L1 presented with acute abdominal pain and bleeding per vaginum. On TVS, she was diagnosed as ruptured right tubal ectopic pregnancy and she had undergone emergency laparotomy and right salpingectomy. Histopathological assessment of the specimen revealed choriocarcinoma stage 1 with low risk disease. Her initial beta–hcg levels were 2,60,000mIU/ml. Single agent chemotherapy with Methotrexate was administered. Follow up beta hcg gradually declined over a period of 8 weeks. With this case report we aimed to implicate that choriocarcinoma, although a rare entity should be kept in mind and the as it has high risk of metastasis, all ectopic pregnancies must undergo histopathological examination.
