title: [Choriocarcinoma in mother and child (author's transl)].
abstract: The case of a 2 month-old child with metastatic choriocarcinoma is reported. Death occurred rapidly and necropsy failed to find a primary tumor; the choriocarcinoma was therefore thought to be developed in the placenta. A year later, a uterine exploration was performed in the mother. In spite of normal chorionic gonadotrophin levels the histological findings were compatible with choriocarcinoma.
