title: Lower genital tract metastases of placental site trophoblastic tumor: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We present a case of metastatic placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) and review the English literature on this entity.
  
  
  METHODS
  In addition to the case presentation, literature review describes 23 additional cases with differing treatments and length of survival.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient is free of disease more than 5 years after diagnosis. She received multimodality treatment including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Eleven other patients survived the disease from 12 to 36 months after initial diagnosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Metastatic PSTT has a poor prognosis and requires aggressive treatment. ▪.
