  • Title: Pulmonary disease in gestational trophoblastic neoplasms.
    Author: McNair OM, Polk OD.
    Journal: J Natl Med Assoc; 1992 Aug; 84(8):713-6. PubMed ID: 1324326.
    Abstract:
    Gestational trophoblastic neoplasms can present as pulmonary nodules without significant disease of the reproductive organs. This article describes a case of metastatic gestational trophoblastic disease to the lungs. This entity must be considered in the differential diagnosis in any female of reproductive age who presents with multiple pulmonary nodules. Thoracotomy has a limited role in the initial evaluation of patients with this disease. However, it may be needed in patients who have evidence of persistent pulmonary disease, despite appropriate therapy.
