Abstract

ARECES DELGADO, Georgina et al. Placental site trophoblastic tumor: Report of 2 cases and literature review. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2007, vol.33, n.2. ISSN 0138-600X.

Placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) is a clinical form of gestational trophoblastic disease, and its most uncommon variety. Two cases managed at the Ramón González Coro Hospital were reported, and their clinical features, diagnostic approaches, management and clinical evolution, were described. Those cases are examples of the difficulties reported by the authors due to the non-response to common treatment and to the need of an accurate imaging diagnosis. A review of the published data regarding PSTT was also presented.

Keywords : Placental site trophoblastic tumor; trophoblastic disease; human chorionic gonadotropin.
