Conservative management of abnormally invasive, residual trophoblastic disease (AIRTD) is underreported. We aimed at critically reviewing our experience with such conservative management. We conducted a retrospective cohort study that included 24 women. The median completed week of gestation at
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of selective arterial embolization in the management of internal bleeding caused by trophoblastic diseases.
METHODS
Four patients with internal bleeding caused by trophoblastic diseases were diagnosed with arteriography and treated with selective
In the United States, gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD), including molar pregnancies, occur in 121 out of 100,000 pregnancies.1 Many patients with GTD may develop hyperthyroidism. GTD-induced thyroid storm is a rare but life-threatening complication of GTD.2 Once patients are hemodynamically
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a regimen of etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine in patients with metastatic, high-risk gestational trophoblastic tumors.
METHODS
Twelve women with metastatic gestational choriocarcinoma received 64 treatment
BACKGROUND
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy (etoposide 100 mg/m(2) days 1-5, methotrexate 300 mg/m(2) day 1, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m(2) day 1, actinomycin D 0.6 mg/m(2) day 2 and cisplatin 60 mg/m(2) day 4, EMACP) was compared to EMA/CO (etoposide 100 mg/m(2) days 1-2, methotrexate 300 mg/m(2) day 1
From 1989 to 1994, Etoposide, Methotrexate, Actinomycin-D, Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, Folic acid (EMA/CO) regimen was administered to seven patients with high-risk gestational tumours according to the Bagshawe 1976 criteria. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were obtained from two of these seven
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic unilateral adrenal hemorrhage is rare. Described is the first case reported in the setting of nonmetastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. CASE: A primigravida presented with abdominal pain, fever, and a right upper quadrant mass during the workup for gestational
BACKGROUND
Pneumonitis is a serious and unpredictable side-effect of treatment with methotrexate (MTX) that may result in a life-threatening outcome. Pulmonary toxicity of methotrexate in patients with a gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN) has rarely been reported before.
METHODS

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare disease with complications that can be life-threatening. An ovarian vein thrombus in a gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is an extremely rare condition that has not been previously reported in the literature. We report the case of a 23-year-old woman
Ectopic molar pregnancy is an uncommon event in clinical practice. In this paper, we report a case of ectopic complete molar pregnancy in a 39-year-old lady who presented to the emergency department with lower abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and low-grade fever. Based on radiological and
Haemoperitoneum in women of reproductive age usually suggests either ruptured ectopic pregnancy or ruptured ovarian cysts. Metastatic choriocarcinoma is considered the least common cause of haemoperitoneum in women of childbearing age. We report a rare case of pancreatic and hepatic metastasis of
Multiple agent chemotherapy in high-risk metastatic gestational trophoblastic tumor patients is a problem for any medical team. In this study, EMA-EP chemotherapy (etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin, and cisplatinum) was evaluated as firstline chemotherapy to manage high-risk GTT metastatic
Methotrexate is used judiciously, only when specifically indicated. However, in this case the patient had a fatal outcome after only three doses. A young nulliparous woman diagnosed as having high-risk persistent trophoblastic disease was considered for multidrug chemotherapy. However, because of
Tumors of the female genital tract may be associated with a variety of unusual clinical manifestations. Uncommon endocrine and paraendocrine syndromes include production of human chorionic gonadotropin by tumors other than those of germ cell origin, hyperthyroidism associated with struma ovarii and
