ABSTRACT: Introduction: Epothelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is a distinctive but very rare gestational trophoblastic tumor. Patients diagnosed with this disease usually are of the reproductive age group and typically present with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Presentation of case: This report details a case of a 47-year-old premenopausal female, who was diagnosed with epithelioid trophoblastic tumor and underwent subtotal abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy. The patient has signed a formal consent that authorized the publication of her case. Discussion: Through this report we will be discussing epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) along with its morphology and immunochemical breakdown. Discussion will involve its prognostic factors and treatment modalities. Conclusion: Although it’s not confirmed, ETT is said to be mostly chemo resistant, and thus hysterectomy is still the mainstay of treatment. Because of its rarity, limited data have been published regarding follow-up and surveillance for recurrence.
