title: [Metastatic chorionepithelioma of the brain].
abstract: Under examination there were 37 patients with uterine, and 3 with testicle chorioepithelioma with metastases to the brain (35 patients) and the spinal cord (5 patients). The particular malignancy of the tumour which rapidly involved the vessels was the cause of perifocal hemorrhages and hemorrhages to the brain matter. This makes the clinical course of the disease especially grave. Twenty-eight patients died: most of them had multiple metastases to the brain. Twelve patients were dismissed: 5 of them with a certain improvement of the state and 7 with the disease still progressing.
