Overview

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia patients can present with history of previous pregnancies including hydatidiform mole (molar pregnancy) and miscarriage, history of previous gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), and signs and symptoms that may suggest gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). Symptoms of choriocarcinoma include vaginal bleeding, passing of tissue resembling a “bunch of grapes” from the vagina, and abdominal distension.
