Gestational trophoblastic disease presenting as a large metastasis to the finger.
Cutaneous metastases of gestational trophoblastic disease are extremely uncommon. A patient with metastatic, poor prognosis disease and a large metastatic lesion on her left fifth digit is presented. The clinical course and complete response to EMACO chemotherapy are outlined. The presence of metastatic disease in a reproductive-age woman requires consideration of gestational trophoblastic disease in the differential diagnosis.
