Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia associated with a normal pregnancy with no evidence of uterine primary lesion

Gestational trophoblastic tumours are neoplasms that derive from trophoblastic tissue; therefore, their occurrence is generally intrauterine. We report the case of a 27-year-old woman with an ovarian tumour that arose during pregnancy. The patient did not have postpartum checkups and came to the clinic after eighteen months, presenting multiple lymphadenopathy predominantly in the cervical region, one of which was biopsied. In the microscopic study, the presence of syncytiotrophoblast-like cells supported the diagnosis of a metastasis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. The serum levels of bHCG were found to be elevated. Tomographic and ultrasound images did not show any uterine tumour. Immunohistochemistry allowed us to establish the diagnosis of placental site trophoblastic tumour metastasis.
