Placental site trophoblastic tumor is a rare disease. Since its first description in the literature only about 100 cases have been reported. Initially considered a benign pathology, its malignant potential with metastases was later recognized. About 30% of the cases described metastatised, thereby aggravating the prognosis. The therapy is surgical and in cases of metastatised disease has to be supplemented by chemotherapy. A case of placental site trophoblastic tumour with a single metastasis to the left adrenal gland treated with adrenalectomy and chemotherapy is reported. |
