Its incidence is high in the region of South East Asia. The curability of GTD is a milestone of success in the history of medicine however we still face challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to myriad of its clinical presentations. The case under discussion is of a patient who presented with unusual symptoms of GTD which posed a diagnostic dilemma but was effectively managed in a tertiary care setting conserving her future fertility and quality of life
