Coriocarcinoma durante la perimenopausia: reporte de un caso

Abstract

Introduction

There are few cases reported in the literature on gestational trophoblastic disease in postmenopausal women, and there are even fewer reports of choriocarcinoma at this stage. The case is presented of a patient diagnosed with uterine choriocarcinoma, whose last obstetrical event was 14 years before the current condition.

Conclusions

Studies of DNA microsatellite polymorphism are the most specific to confirm gestational tumour origin. Pulsatility index of the uterine artery used as a predictor of resistance to methotrexate, first-line drug in the treatment of this cancer, is currently being studied.
