[Choriocarcinoma with atypical clinical course. Case report].
Authors describe a case of choriocarcinoma with an atypical clinical course in 28-year old woman nine months after a normal pregnancy and labour. Diagnosis of the disease was very hard because endometrial biopsy did not show any suspected cells and two performed pregnancy tests were not positive. Diagnosis was confirmed after a hysterectomy. Authors conclude that every unclear vaginal bleeding during woman's reproductive years should be considered with a beta-HCG level measurement.
