title: Vaginal metastases in gestational trophoblastic disease.
abstract: From 1976 to 1988, 320 patients with gestational trophoblastic disease were treated in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Hong Kong. Eighteen patients had vaginal metastases. The clinical features and behaviour of the disease were analysed. The prognosis depends mainly on the extent of the disease. Similar favourable response to chemotherapy was observed in low-risk patients with vaginal metastases.
