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
Complete Hydatidiform Mole
  • High rate of progression (15-20%)
  • Extremely high levels ( > 100000 mIU/ml in half of the patients
  • Not related

  • Elevated (Dysgerminoma and Embryonal carcinoma)
  • Overall incidence in pregnancy is 2.4-5.7% (1/300 to 1/556 pregnancies)
  • Incidence of malignancy is 1/15,000 to 1/32,000 pregnancies
  • Germ cell and epithelial tumors are most common
  • Absent
  • Direct extension or seeding
  • 46,XX
Spontaneous Abortion
  • Vaginal bleeding
