Abstract

Choriocarcinoma in mother and child is extremely rare and review of the literature revealed only six reported cases. We are presenting the seventh such case. Autopsy of the fetus of 39 weeks' gestation revealed metastatic choriocarcinoma. Workup of the mother showed an occult choriocarcinoma in the uterus. Aggressive chemotherapy was initiated promptly and remission was achieved.
