Overview

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental-site trophoblastic tumor [PSTT] and epitheloid trophoblastic tumor [ETT]) should be differentiated from other conditions presenting with similar symptoms and signs such as increase in uterine size, vaginal bleeding and amenorrhea. The differentials include molar pregnancy (complete and partial moles), ovarian tumors, spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy and normal term pregnancy.

Differentiating Choriocarcinoma From Other Diseases

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental-site trophoblastic tumor [PSTT] and epitheloid trophoblastic tumor [ETT]) should be differentiated from other conditions presenting with similar symptoms and signs such as increase in uterine size, vaginal bleeding and amenorrhea. The differentials include the following:
