Abstract
Choriocarcinoma is a rare pregnancy-related malignancy. The majority is arising from non-molar pregnancy. Here we report a patient who was diagnosed with postmolar choriocarcinoma after an interval of 7 years. Before surgery, we suspected the diagnosis of the patient was intramural pregnancy or choriocarcinoma. Laparoscopy was performed and hysterectomy was carried out. Postoperative pathological evaluation of the surgical specimen confirmed the case was choriocarcinoma. Hysterectomy through laparoscopy was feasible and safe for selected patients.
