Abstract

Choriocarcinoma arises sometimes after hydatidiform mole, occasionally after abortion, and rarely after normal term pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy. Recently we had the opportunity to observe 26-year-old female patient who had choriocarcinoma following term pregnancy. In this paper, we report a case of choriscarcinoma following term pregnancy with a brief review of related literature.
