Abstrakt: A patient was presented with a non-gestational non-gonadal choriocarcinoma and hyperthyroidism. Five years earlier, at the age of 36, she underwent an abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy for endometrial carcinoma. Despite intensive treatment with multiple chemotherapy the patient died. We concluded that this non-gestational, non-gonadal choriocarcinoma was a recurrence of her previous endometrial carcinoma or a new extra (non) gonadal germcell tumor with choriocarcinoma.
