title: Placental site trophoblastic tumour (trophoblastic pseudotumour). A case report.
abstract: The term 'gestational trophoblastic disease' includes hydatidiform mole (invasive and non-invasive), choriocarcinoma and a rare condition initially called trophoblastic pseudotumour and more recently placental site trophoblastic tumour. Originally this condition was viewed as benign, but recent reports indicate that it may be fatal. The first report of a South African patient with this uncommon condition is presented.
