ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The Gestational Trophoblastic Disease includes an interrelated group of diseases originating from placental tissue, with distinct behaviors concerning local invasion and metastasis. The high sensitivity of the serial dosages of human chorionic gonadotrophin, combined with advances in chemotherapy treatment, have made gestational trophoblastic neoplasia curable, most often through chemotherapy. However, surgery remains of major importance in the management of patients with gestational trophoblastic disease, improving their prognosis. Surgery is necessary in the control of the disease's complications, such as hemorrhage, and in cases of resistant/relapsed neoplasia. This review discusses the indications and the role of surgical interventions in the management of women with molar pregnancy and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.


RESUMO Doença trofoblástica gestacional inclui um grupo interrelacionado de doenças originadas do tecido placentário, com tendências distintas de invasão local e metástase. A alta sensibilidade das dosagens seriadas de gonadotrofina coriônica humana aliada aos avanços do tratamento quimioterápico tornou a neoplasia trofoblástica gestacional, curável, na maioria das vezes, através da quimioterapia. No entanto, a cirurgia permanece ainda, da maior importância na condução de pacientes com doença trofoblástica gestacional, melhorando seu prognóstico. A cirurgia é necessária no controle de complicações da doença, tais como hemorragia, e em casos de neoplasia resistente/recidivada. Esta revisão discute as indicações e o papel das intervenções cirúrgicas durante o manejo de mulheres com gravidez molar e neoplasia trofoblástica gestacional.

ABSTRACT

El coriocarcinoma es una patología infrecuente pero potencialmente fatal si no se trata. Se incluye dentro de las neoplasias trofoblásticas gestacionales, un grupo de tumores malignos altamente invasivos, metastáticos y muy 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. Describimos el caso de una paciente que acudió al servicio de urgencias, refiriendo metrorragia escasa desde un parto normal hace dos meses y posteriormente presentó un sangrado grave durante su hospitalización. Los elevados niveles de β-hCG, la ecografía-Doppler, las pruebas de imagen y las manifestaciones clínicas fueron suficientes para diagnosticar un coriocarcinoma postparto. El tratamiento precoz con poliquimioterápicos permitió una evolución favorable de la paciente.


Choriocarcinoma is an infrequent disease but potentially fatal if untreated. It is included in trophoblastic gestational neoplasia, a range of malignant tumors highly invasive, metastatic and very vascular. Its presentation after term pregnancies carries a worse prognosis than after a miscarriage or a hydatidiform mole because it reflects a delay in diagnosis and treatment. We report the case of a patient who presented to the emergency department referring little metrorrhagia from a normal delivery two months ago and severe bleeding later during her hospital stay. The high serum β-hCG level, the Doppler ultrasonography, the imaging test and the clinical manifestation were enough to diagnose a non-metastatic postpartum choriocarcinoma. Early treatment with polychemotherapy allowed a favorable evolution of the patient.
