[Trophoblastic tumor of placental location or trophoblastic pseudotumor. Apropos of 2 cases. Review of the literature].
Two cases of trophoblastic tumor of placental site are reported, less than 30 such lesions being listed in the published literature. Identification of this tumor from among other trophoblastic lesions is facilitated by immunohistochemical and electron microscopy technics, and demonstration of histoprognostic and biologic criteria improves assessment of evolutory potential of this type of tumor and allows adaptation of therapy. Treatment at the localized stage requires early diagnosis and wide surgical excision, results of chemotherapy in metastatic forms being, inversely than with choriocarcinoma, very deceiving.
