[Tubal choriocarcinoma: a case report and review of the literature].
The authors describe a case report of a tubal choriocarcinoma occurring in women of 32 years old, 2 years after her last pregnancy. The patient was treated by laparoscopic salpingectomy and polychemotherapy. Metastatic pulmonary micronodules were diagnosed at thoraco-abdomino-pelvic tomodensitometry. Patient's recovery was complete with an uneventfull follow-up at 3 years. The association of surgical treatment and chemotherapy used under the guidelines of the FIGO score improves patient's outcome.
