Does choriocarcinoma happen DURING a pregnancy??

  #2

Just something i found coz had this feeling that it's possible

"Choriocarcinoma coexistent with normal intrauterine pregnancy is rare and poses questions about its origin. Although the development from trophoblastic remnants of previous pregnancies can not be excluded in some cases, the findings of incidental macro- and microscopic foci of choriocarcinoma in apparently normal placentas show the possible transformation of normal trophoblast into choriocarcinoma during an otherwise normal pregnancy. The diagnosis and management of choriocarcinoma coexistent with intrauterine pregnancy have changed dramatically over the decades but the survival rates are still unsatisfactory."
