| Popis: | Gestational trophoblastic disease has been reported to be responsive to chemotherapy, with a 90% cure rate. Several factors place patients at high risk of experiencing treatment failure with single agent chemotherapy. Choriocarcinoma following term pregnancy is very rare and associated with a poor prognosis and a mortality rate of 33-40%. We present a rare case of cutaneous metastasis of choriocarcinoma to the left third digit. |
