Abstract
The treatment approach for gestational and non-gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma has several differences, and their differential diagnosis requires special attention. The implementation of molecular-genetic testing which determines the presence of paternal genetic material in the tumor allows for a reliable determination of the origin of ovarian choriocarcinoma. The presented clinical case demonstrates the importance of this method in the differential diagnosis of gestational and non-gestational forms of ovarian choriocarcinoma.
