Overview

Choriocarcinoma must be differentiated from non neoplastic diseases, neoplastic diseases, and other causes of bleeding during pregnancy.

Differentiating choriocarcinoma from other diseases

Choriocarcinoma must be differentiated from other non-neoplastic diseases such as:

Choriocarcinoma must be differentiated from other neoplastic diseases such as:

  • Invasive hydatidiform mole
  • Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT)
  • Mixed germ cell tumor - esp. for testicular and ovarian tumors

Choriocarcinoma must be differentiated from other causes of bleeding during pregnancy:

Differential Diagnosis Clinical Features Karyotype Immunostaining Management
Presenting Complaints Potential for Neoplastic Conversion Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (Beta-hCG) Baseline Levels History of Pregnancy Theca Leutin Cysts Metastatic Route Cytokeratin 18 HLA-G Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Transformation-Related Protein 63 (P63) Human Placental Lactogen (hPL) Melanoma Cell Adhesion Molecule (Mel-CAM) Ki67
