RESUMEN
El coriocarcinoma es una patología infrecuente, pero potencialmente fatal si no se trata. Está
incluida dentro de las Neoplasias Trofoblásticas Gestacionales (NTG), un grupo de tumores
malignos altamente invasivos, metastásicos y vascularizados. Su presentación tras una
gestación a término conlleva peor pronóstico que tras un aborto o una mola hidatiforme, porque
refleja un retraso en el diagnóstico y tratamiento. Los elevados niveles de Gonadotropina
Coriónica Humana beta (β-hCGesenciales su diagnóstico. El tratamiento debe de ser precoz,
basado en quimioterapia con múltiples fármacos idealmente, aunque en ocasiones también se
incluyen la cirugía y radioterapia.
ABSTRACT
Choriocarcinoma is a rare but potentially fatal condition if not treated. It is included within the
gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN), a group of highly invasive, metastatic and highly
vascular malignant tumors. Its presentation after a full-term pregnancy carries a worse
prognosis than after an abortion or a hydatidiform mole because it reflects a delay in diagnosis
and treatment. Elevated beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels, Doppler
ultrasound, imaging tests, and clinical manifestations are essential to diagnose postpartum
choriocarcinoma. Treatment must be early, based on polychemotherapy, although sometimes
surgery and radiotherapy are also included.
