Placental site trophoblastic tumor: three case reports and literature review

Gynecol Oncol. 1995 Nov;59(2):300-3. doi: 10.1006/gyno.1995.0026.

Abstract

The clinical features of three patients with placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) are presented. Two patients had probable nephrotic syndrome, which was unrecognized at the time. The nephrotic syndrome disappeared after hysterectomy in one patient and the other demised after one cycle of chemotherapy. The use of hysteroscopy in one patient and the management of a pulmonary metastasis in another are described.
