We report a case history of primitive chorioncarcinoma of the cervix in a woman of 48 years of age. The diagnosis of chorioncarcinoma of the cervix was strongly suggested in the hysterectomy specimen that was obtained during an emergency operation. In fact it consisted of a polypoid mass near the cervix which showed as severe haemorrhage, so that there was no chance of taking a biopsy specimen. The history that the patient gave as well as her clinical and biological findings made it possible to diagnose the case definitively. This trophoblastic tumour resulting from pregnancy is extremely are in the cervix. 60 cases have been published up to now in the world literature. The rareness of this tumour in this site makes it worth while to try to find out the aetiology and pathology of the condition. It is to be distinguished from other chorioncarcinomata in other sites.

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
