Uterus: Poster Abstract: Metastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasia presenting after a normal pregnancy

Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia presenting after a normal delivery is very rare & seen in 1 in 1,60,000 pregnancies and is associated with a poor outcome due to delay in diagnosis. Only three cases have been reported in the literature till date. A 27 year old lady, P2L1 delivered a stillborn baby in some peripheral hospital. Intrapartumand post-partum period were uneventful. After a period of 2 months, in view of persistent bleeding pervaginumshe underwent dilatation & evacuation in the same hospital. Ultrasonography showed circumscribed lesion 4.1 × 3.6 cm in lower uterine segment indenting the endometrium. MRI showed a heterogeneous space (4.2 × 3.2 × 3.3 cm) occupying lesion extending to involve the anterior myometrium. She was discharged on single dose of methotrexate 50 mg intramuscular injection. After one month, she again had an episode of heavy bleeding pervaginum leading to shock, for which she was referred to Safdarjung Hospital for further management. At Safdarjung Hospital an emergency hysterectomy was performed as a lifesaving measure. Preoperative serum Bhcg was >1 lac mIU/ml. later it was reported as gestational choriocarcinoma by histopathology. Metastatic workup showed cannonball lesions in lungs. On the 10^th post-op day, she had severe episode of headache followed by right sided hemiplegia. NCCT head showed multiple haemorrhagiclesion in bilateral parietal and right frontal region suggestive of brain metastasis. She was started on the EMA/CO regimen.
