Cervicoisthmic choriocarcinoma mimicking cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy

Abstract

Primary choriocarcinoma of the uterine cervix is an extremely rare disease. The clinical diagnosis of cervical choriocarcinoma is difficult, because of its rarity and being non-specific abnormal vaginal bleeding the most common symptom. In the present report,the authors present a case of cervical choriocarcinoma, which was initially misdiagnosed as a cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy.
Remission of cervical choriocarcinoma was accomplished with the combination of hysterectomy and chemotherapy.

Key words: cesarean section scar, choriocarcinoma, ectopic pregnancy
