Choriocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that typically appears in gonadal organs and primarily occurs in women of reproductive age. Being a primary extragonadal choriocarcinoma, primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma (PPC) is an extremely rare condition. Due to the rarity of PPC, no standardized treatment has been established so far. However, surgery combined with adjuvant chemotherapy appears to be the most optimal treatment. Here, we report a rare case of a man with PPC that was successfully treated with surgery followed by chemotherapy.
绒毛膜癌是一种恶性肿瘤,通常出现在性腺器官,主要发生于育龄期女性。原发性肺绒毛膜癌(PPC)作为一种原发性性腺外绒毛膜癌,是一种极其罕见的病症。由于PPC罕见,目前尚未确立标准化治疗方案。然而,手术联合辅助化疗似乎是最优化的治疗方法。在此,我们报告一例罕见的男性PPC病例,该病例通过手术及后续化疗成功治愈。
