Abstract

This paper describes a recent tumor board presentation conducted at our institution involving an adolescent with gestational choriocarcinoma. Despite its rarity in pediatrics, gestational choriocarcinoma offers unique diagnostic, treatment and off-therapy considerations in adolescent patients who have become pregnant. Key features and findings of the case as well as important management issues will be discussed.
