Gestational choriocarcinoma is a rare neoplasm of pregnancy that is often undiagnosed until the advanced stage manifests with metastatic complications. Herein, we present a case of a 22-year-old young woman with metastatic gestational choriocarcinoma with unidentified primary origin, who presented with haemoptysis as a chief problem in her third trimester. The case emphasises on the rarity of this neoplasm in a viable pregnancy. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is the key for good maternal and fetal prognosis.
妊娠性绒毛膜癌是一种罕见的妊娠肿瘤,通常在晚期出现转移并发症时才被诊断出来。在此,我们报告一例22岁年轻女性,患有转移性妊娠性绒毛膜癌,原发灶不明,在孕晚期以咯血为主要症状就诊。该病例强调了这种肿瘤在活胎妊娠中的罕见性。及时诊断和治疗是母婴良好预后的关键。
