Extragonadal Nongestational Choriocarcinoma With a Widespread Metastasis in a Young Female: A Case Report and Literature Analysis With a Focus on Unmet Needs.
Curēus 2023 November
Choriocarcinoma is a highly aggressive malignant tumor that occurs due to the formation of an abnormal trophoblast. Choriocarcinoma is classified into gestational (GC) and nongestational (NGC) subtypes. The majority of nongestational diseases are limited to ovaries. Extragonadal NGC is a sporadic occurrence and a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Here, we present a young 24-year-old female who presented with a widespread metastatic disease to the brain, bilateral kidneys, lungs, liver, pancreas, and small bowel. She was diagnosed with extragonadal NGC, probably originating from her kidneys. She responded poorly to standard first-, second-, and third-line chemotherapies. Detailed literature analysis with various aspects of pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, clinical presentation, and treatment options are discussed. There is an unmet need for further research and consensus on many aspects of this rare disease.
