early recognition of gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (gtn) will maximize the chances of cure with chemotherapy but some patients present with many different symptoms months or even years after the causative pregnancy making diagnosis difficult. clinicians should be aware of the possibility of gtn in any reproductive age woman with bizarre central nervous system, gastrointestinal, pulmonary s...

Gestational trophoblastic disease is rarely associated with nephrotic syndrome. The most common renal complication in pregnant females is pre-eclamptic hypertensive nephropathy. Most cases have not been biopsied and thus the specific nature of renal involvement could not be ascertained. Only a few case reports exist in which gestational trophoblastic disease associated with nephrotic syndrome h...

  Background : Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) disease is excessive and inappropriate proliferation of trophoblast after termination of the pregnancy. Many attempts have been made to improve follow-up procedures, but no studies have evaluated Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) as a post treatment indicator. Thus we aimed to know β-HCG variability in post treatment pregnancies.   Meth...

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a group of conditions that originate from the abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic cells. GTDs encompass hydatidiform moles (HMs) and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). GTNs are a group of malignant diseases that require chemotherapy, or more aggressive treatment. There is a requirement for more tumor markers to predict the development of GT...

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a group of tumors defined by abnormal proliferation. GTD divided into hydatidiform moles (contain villi) and other neoplasms (lack villi).1 The malignant forms the are also collectively known as gestational or neoplasia (GTN).GTN includes invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site tumor, epithelioid tumor. Southeast Asia Japan have highest reported...

Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is a rare gestational trophoblastic neoplasm composed of intermediate trophoblasts. Most cases of ETT are reported in women of reproductive age following a prior gestation within 2 weeks to 30 years. ETT is extremely rare in postmenopausal women. It is commonly misdiagnosed as a poorly differentiated carcinoma or another type of gestational trophoblastic tu...
