Gestational fallopian tubal choriocarcinoma cured surgically: a case report

Abstract

Abstract Background Fallopian choriocarcinoma is extremely rare and is still treated with a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. We report a case of gestational fallopian tubal choriocarcinoma treated solely with surgery and describe its clinical characteristics, treatment, and follow-up prognosis. Case presentation We report a patient who developed fallopian tube choriocarcinoma during the perimenopausal period. After surgical treatment, the patient was diagnosed with histopathology using immunohistochemistry staining combined with short tandem repeatdetection, and the diagnosis was confirmed as Gestational fallopian tubal choriocarcinoma. Postoperative monitoring serum β- HCG levels, this patient’s β- HCG value showed an exponential decrease and dropped to the normal range within 6 weeks for 3 years. Therefore, the patient did not receive chemotherapy Conclusions This report provides ideas for the simple surgical treatment of gestational fallopian tubal choriocarcinoma that meets conditions, which can reduce unnecessary chemotherapy side effects for such patients.
