Abstract
Choriocarcinomas are rare malignancies which occasionally cause acute abdominal symptoms, mainly in the form of hemorrhage. We here describe a patient with metastatic choriocarcinoma presenting as acute intestinal obstruction and splenic hemorrhage. This seems to be the first report in the literature of a choriocarcinoma causing invagination of the small intestine. The abdominal manifestations of the neoplasm are briefly discussed.Entities:
