Placental site trophoblastic tumour is a rare form of gestational trophoblastic disease, which seldom metastasizes. It is chemoresistant though has an excellent prognosis after complete resection of the tumour. Its characterization is thus important for treatment and further management. We present an unusual case who presented with ascites of non-neoplastic origin and was found to have metastases to the lymph node.
