Popis: Conclusion: The report highlights the difficulty in diagnosing vulvar choriocarcinoma, underscoring the importance of a high index of suspicion. Clinical tests such as serum (β-hCG) and imaging studies are crucial for diagnosis. In resource-limited settings, a simple strip-based urine pregnancy test with serial dilutions can be sufficient for diagnosing and managing vulvar choriocarcinoma.
