ABSTRACT
A 43-year-old woman who had had an invasive mole 5 years previously required emergent pulmonary embolectomy under cardiopulmonary bypass. Curative resection was impossible because the tumor invaded the right main pulmonary artery and left lower pulmonary artery. The pathologic diagnosis made by the tumor emboli specimens was choriocarcinoma. The patient received post-operative chemotherapy over a 6-month period and had complete remission. Although rare, choriocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fertile women presented with pulmonary embolism.
