A 50-year-old woman was admitted for hysterectomy due to persistent vaginal bleeding and enlargement of the uterus. Before operation a significant increased beta-HCG was measured. Histologic examination of uterine contents obtained by aspiration showed trophoblastic disease. An decrease in beta-HCG was registered postoperatively. However, two weeks later it rose again and the patient started treatment with methotrexate. It is recommended that the treatment of patients with invasive gestational trophoblastic disease is centralized.
