GTN usually follows hydatidiform mole. Post molar GTN develops approximately 15-20% of patients after a CHM and 5% after PHM. GTN can follow abortions, normal pregnancies, ectopic pregnancies, irregular bleeding following an abortion or delivery. We present a very rare case of a 24-year-old lady, admitted with a five-month history of vaginal bleeding after a normal pregnancy. The human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was at level of 74991. A pelvic ultrasound scan revealed an endometrial thickness of 6 cm and the presence of an intra-uterine mass measuring 60 × 53 × 45 mm, heterogeneous echogenicity with vesicles and snowstorm appearance. WHO scoring was 6 (low risk GTN), FIGO stage II and we proceeded to refer the patient to the dept of Medical Oncology in view of GTN. She was started on single agent MTX (methotrexate- folinic acid regimen). She received 10 cycles of chemotherapy and was discharged with 5-year annual follow-up. Choriocarcinomas after full-term pregnancies are a rare entity. Even when they happen, they are usually associated with pregnancy complications in the ante-natal period. The prognosis is usually very good, if prompt diagnosis and referral to a specialized center is made. The diagnosis of choriocarcinoma might be proven challenging even for experienced clinicians. Women should be informed that the prognosis is usually excellent if they receive the right and timely treatment.
