Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumor: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumor: Clinical and Pathological Report of Two Cases

  Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is the rare variant of gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD), which differs histologically and immunologically from GTD. Diagnosis of PSTT is often difficult and delayed. In most cases, diagnosis is not possible until the surgery is performed. The most therapeutic choice is hysterectomy and it is usually successful.

Placenta Site Trophoblastic Tumor and Choriocarcinoma from Previous Cesarean Section Scar: Case Reports

Choriocarcinoma and placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) are rare varieties of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). PSTT alone constitutes about 1-2% of all trophoblastic tumors, which presents at early reproductive age and the serum beta-hCG level is much lower than choriocarcinoma. This tumor usually invades the myometrium and its depth of penetration is a prognostic factor. The firs...

Long term remission of metastatic placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT): Case report and review of literature

BACKGROUND: Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is a rare and unique form of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). This tumor represents a neoplastic transformation of intermediate trophoblastic cells. We document a case of long term remission in a patient with metastatic PSTT. CASE PRESENTAION: A 27-year-old patient with metastatic PSTT was treated with combination therapy (chemothera...
