Cervicoisthmic choriocarcinoma mimicking cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy

J Res Med Sci. 2013 Oct;18(10):914-7.

Abstract

Primary choriocarcinoma of the uterine cervix is an extremely rare disease. The clinical diagnosis of cervical choriocarcinoma is difficult, because of its rarity and being non-specific abnormal vaginal bleeding the most common symptom. In the present report, the authors present a case of cervical choriocarcinoma, which was initially misdiagnosed as a cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy. Remission of cervical choriocarcinoma was accomplished with the combination of hysterectomy and chemotherapy.

Keywords: Cesarean section scar; choriocarcinoma; ectopic pregnancy.
