ABSTRACT
Primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma is a rare manifestation of extra-genital malignant germ cell tumour. This is a report of seven such cases, seen in autopsy and surgical materials in a span of 20 years. The age range was from 25 to 60 years, affecting six women and one male. These are aggressive tumours requiring prompt therapy. Only one among the seven survived.

ABSTRACT
Choriocarcinoma most commonly arises from intrauterine gestational trophoblastic tissue; non gestational choriocarcinoma is rare. We report a 22-year-old married woman with non-gestational choriocarcinoma in the small intestine. Partial resection of the jejunum and ileum was done, followed by chemotherapy. She was well one year later.
