Abstract
Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia Series of 17 Cases
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia comprises a unique group of human neoplastic diseases that derive from fetal trophoblastic tissues. They are proliferative as well as degenerative disorders of placental elements and include complete or partial hydatiform mole (90%), invasive mole (5-8%) which could also be metastatic, villous or a villous choriocarcinoma (1-2%), and placental site tumor (1-2%). During the study period of 5 years, from January 2009 to December 2013, there were 17 cases analyzed retrospectively. Invasive mole and choriocarcinoma, which make up the vast majority of these tumors, always produce substantial amounts of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)..
