ABSTRACT
Choriocarcinoma, following term pregnancy, is a rare form of gestational trophoblastic disease. The usual presentation is with persistent primary or secondary postpartum hemorrhage, the diagnosis is often delayed because of failure to recognize this mode of presentation of the disease. Early diagnosis is important because this rare condition is potentially curable with appropriate chemotherapy. A case of postpartum choriocarcinoma, following a term pregnancy is reported that was successfully treated with methotrexate therapy and surgery
