Metastatic Vulvo-Vaginal Choriocarcinoma Mimicking a Vulvar Hematoma: A Case Report

Abstract

Choriocarcinoma, included in gestational trophoblastic neoplasms, is a tumor with high malignant potential [1]. Next to the lung, vulvo-vaginal metastasis comprises 30% of all metastatic incidences in choriocarcinoma. Metastasis in this region is often misleading in its initial appearance. Recent onset vulvo-vaginal swelling may be the sole clinical presentation, as sometimesantecedent pregnancy remains uninformative [2]. We report a case of metastatic choriocarcinoma who presented as a case of vulvar hematoma.
