The treatment of simultaneous choriocarcinoma in mother and baby.
Simultaneous occurrence of choriocarcinoma in mother and child is rare. Such a case is described in which a massive intrahepatic tumor in the infant led to its treatment and that of the mother who showed evidence of the same tumor. Both are alive and well 1 year after treatment, the longest recorded infant survival.
