Changes in cell growth and hormone production of the choriocarcinoma cell line BeWo were studied to determine the manner in which the change in the cell cycle due to antimetabolite MTX affects heat sensitivity. First of all, BeWo was treated with 10(-7)M-MTX for 48 hrs. on day 4. And heat (43
In order to elucidate the effect of hyperthermia, gestational choriocarcinoma cell line (BeWo) was studied with respect to cell growth and hormone (beta-HCG) production in various conditions of hyperthermia. BeWo was heated in the 39.0-43.0 degrees C temperature range on Day 4. The cell growth was
A 6-week-old boy presented with fever, pallor, and hepatomegaly. Ultrasound showed a huge midline abdominal mass. β-human chorionic gonadotropin was markedly elevated, suggesting a diagnosis of infantile choriocarcinoma of the liver. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. The patient received 6 cycles of
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

METHODS
One week after returning from a two-week holiday in Sri Lanka a 35-year-old man started to have recurrent bouts of fever, up to 39.2 degrees C, as well as pain over the left upper abdomen, the back of the right thorax and bilateral pain on pressure with swelling of both breasts. He went to
Choriocarcinoma is an aggressive tumour. Uncommonly, it spreads distantly, and rarely results in pulmonary and brain metastases. Its prognosis is generally good when treated. We report a 33-year-old woman with fever, haemoptysis and asthenia. One month after the appearance of metrorrhagia, she was
Primary mediastinal choriocarcinoma is a very rare malignant tumor unrelated to pregnancy. Here a case of primary mediastinal choriocarcinoma was reported. The patient was a 13-year-old boy. He presented with shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, irritable cough and weight loss. The imaging
BACKGROUND
Management of choriocarcinoma complicated by diffused intraabdominal abscess is difficult, especially when disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) ensues.
METHODS
A 29-year-old woman presented with massive vaginal bleeding, fever and severe abdominal pain. Choriocarcinoma with
Choriocarcinoma of the kidney, either primary or metastatic, is rarely reported in the literature. We encountered a male patient with choriocarcinoma of the right kidney. The patient initially presented with fever, gross hematuria and flank pain. He had initially been unsuccessfully treated for
Choriocarcinoma coexisting with or after a "normal" pregnancy has an incidence of one per 160 000 pregnancies. In case of choriocarcinoma after term pregnancy, early diagnosis by histopathological examination of the placenta is very important, the precocity of the diagnosis influencing the prognosis
An autopsy case of primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma that manifested as diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is reported. A 44-year-old nurse presented with fever, dry cough, hemoptysis, and progressive dyspnea, and died after a downhill course of 2 weeks. Chest radiographs showed diffuse parenchymal shadows
A 19-year-old Japanese male developed a cough, chest pain, and high fever. CT of the chest revealed a bulky mediastinal tumor (13 x 10 x 8 cm) and bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules. CT of the abdomen and pelvis was normal. Laboratory evaluation showed a beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta
A case of metastatic choriocarcinoma of the kidney is reported. A 34-year-old married woman was referred to our department complaining of gross hematuria, fever and loin pain. Computed tomography revealed a right renal tumor with mixed density and multiple lung metastases. We performed nephrectomy
An autopsy case of a 19-year-old male Japanese student with a primary mixed choriocarcinoma and mature teratoma in the thymic region is reported. The patient died 7 days after he first noticed fever and dyspnea. On autopsy, an anterior mediastinal mass was found to be in contact with the thymic
