  • Title: Gestational choriocarcinoma presenting as hemothorax.
    Author: Saha K, Basuthakur S, Jash D, Bandyopadhyay A.
    Journal: Indian J Med Sci; 2010 May; 64(5):237-40. PubMed ID: 22842324.
    Abstract:
    Choriocarcinoma include a spectrum of chorionic neoplasms that may be gestational or non-gestational. By virtue of their high vascularity and affinity of trophoblast for blood vessels, metastases often occur early, and the most common site of such metastases is the lung. Metastatic pleural effusions from choriocarcinoma are infrequent. Pleural seeding usually results from extension of a sub-pleural peripheral nodule. We describe a case of gestational choriocarcinoma whose clinical presentation was medical like hemothorax as in our case rather than gynecologic.
