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.
