Successful diagnosis of asymptomatic choriocarcinoma by ultrasonography during a viable pregnancy: A rare case report

Abstract

Background: Gestational choriocarcinoma occurs very rare in conjunction with pregnancy and it is camouflage for diagnosis. Methods: We present a rare case of asymptomatic choriocarcinoma in a viable pregnancy that was successfully diagnosed by ultrasonography and had timely treatment. Results: According to the ultrasonography, early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of choriocarcinoma during a viable pregnancy was administered and the newborn was discharged. Conclusion: Choriocarcinoma in pregnancy is camouflaged, and its clinical presentation varies widely. Despite an asymptomatic status, metastasis can occur, and ultrasonography is important for early diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
