ABSTRACT: We report the case of a patient of 30 years with primary
choriocarcinoma of the ovary. This patient referred for abdomino-pelvic mass
suspected clinically and sonographically. Exploratory laparotomy was performed
with the presence of two latero-uterine mass adherents to the highly
vascularised uterus and difficult to resects deep plane with a mass left
hepatic bleeding. A biopsy of both masses was performed and histological
examination with immunehistochemical study returned for a primary ovarian
non-gestational choriocarcinoma and the patient received 4 cycles of
chemotherapy after hepatic artery embolization with good clinical, biological
and radiological evaluation.
