Primary Ovarian Choriocarcinoma: One Case in 20 Years at INCA and Literature Review

Abstract

Primary ovarian choriocarcinoma treatment doesn’t have a specific protocol and therefore several questions about this disease are still unanswered. This study is interesting because we performed a comprehensive review of the medical literature and report through descriptive analysis the only case registered as Primary ovarian choriocarcinoma in the period of 20 years at the Brazilian National do Cancer. Reading this paper may offer you the opportunity to understand biological behavior, pathological and clinical aspects, imaging indications and usefulness for a rare and deadly disease. Because it is a rare neoplasm and with few studies, there is no consensus for the treatment.
