Gestational trophobalstic neoplasia encompasses invasive mole, placental site trophoblastic tumor, epitheloid trophoblastic tumor and choriocarcinoma. Here we report a 27 year old woman with invasive mole with severe anaemia who was initially misdiagnosed as a case of incomplete abortion with vascular malfomarmation of uterus. In view of uncontrolled bleeding per vaginum, nonspecific ultrasound findings and H/O failed dilatation and evacuation, exploratory laparotomy was decided upon and intraoperative finding was invasive mole. Hysterectomy was done.

History Of

Introduction: Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is a rare subtype of gestational trophoblastic disease. Association of PSTT and nephrotic syndrome is exceedingly rare and has been described in 8 cases thus far. In all cases hysterectomy was performed within months after onset of symptoms, leading to immediate remission of nephrotic syndrome, except for one patient who died of complications of PSTT. Case: We describe the history of a woman in which PSTT was discovered years after onset of nephrotic syndrome. Kidney biopsy revealed lupus-like mesangiocapillary nephritis and over time the patient developed additional symptoms mimicking systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Discussion: We provide an overview of the literature on this clinical entity and elaborate on its pathophysiology. In addition, we reflect on the phenomenon of anchoring bias, that led physicians to assume the patient had SLE without questioning this diagnosis in the light of the unexplained finding of increased tumor markers.

Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding

<p>Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is a highly rare form of gestational trophoblastic diseases that arise from intermediate trophoblastic cells. By presenting this case, we aimed to review the treatment and diagnosis, approach to PSTT.<br />A 31-year-old (G2P1A1L1) patient had abnormal vaginal bleeding. Serum ß-HCG was 5.82 mIU/ml and the transvaginal USG detected a polypoid mass in uterine cavity. Probe curettage was performed. Histopathologic specimens were confirmed as PSTT. No metastasis was detected. A total abdominal hysterectomy was performed.<br />PSTT is a rare tumor. In contrast to other trophoblastic tumors, PSTT produces a small amount of ß-HCG and it is relatively insensitive to chemotherapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy is suggested to follow surgical treatment in the cases with metastasis.</p>
