Abstract
- A case is reported of a 38-year-old woman with metastatic choriocarcinoma which followed four recurrent consecutive hydatidiform moles occurring within the preceding 5-year period. She conceived while having pulmonary metastasis, had a coexistent normal pregnancy and delivered a normal infant at term. Surgical resection of the lung lesion together with chemotherapy accomplished a sustained remission, with no evidence of disease after 20 months' follow-up.
