Summary

Choriocarcinoma is a malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). It is a relatively rare but invasive cancer that tends to metastasize to the vagina, liver, kidneys, lungs, and central nervous system. Symptoms depend on affected organs, but they generally include vaginal bleeding and pain, especially during early pregnancy, poor uterine regression after delivery, seizures, and hemoptysis.
