A surgical case of multiple cerebral metastases from choriocarcinoma was reported, who was a 26 year-old female. She had received treatment of hydatid mole on April 1979, and admitted to our hospital for the consciousness disturbance and right hemiparesis. CT scan showed two high density tumors with marked brain edema. Emergency craniotomy was performed and five tumors were completely removed. Following the operation, symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and disturbance of consciousness were markedly improved in about a week. She received radiation therapy. After radiochemotherapy, a metastatic lung tumor was removed. Now her chorionic gonadotropin titers remain normal and she is able to perform all her household responsibilities despite a mild right hemiparesis. Recently, surgical treatment has been getting done for cerebral metastasis of choriocarcinoma. Because most of the metastatic cerebral lesions occur in relatively easy position for the operation. If symptoms of cerebral metastasis appear, we should performed surgical treatment as soon as possible.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D002822 Choriocarcinoma A malignant metastatic form of trophoblastic tumors. Unlike the HYDATIDIFORM MOLE, choriocarcinoma contains no CHORIONIC VILLI but rather sheets of undifferentiated cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts (TROPHOBLASTS). It is characterized by the large amounts of CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN produced. Tissue origins can be determined by DNA analyses: placental (fetal) origin or non-placental origin (CHORIOCARCINOMA, NON-GESTATIONAL). Choriocarcinomas
