Primary Pure Non-Gestational Ovarian Choriocarcinoma

IntroductionPure non-gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma is a rare malignant condition with aggressive behavior. The tumor arises from germ cells of ovarian. Few cases have been reported in the literature. We present a case of pure ovarian choriocarcinoma with disseminated tumor in pelvic.Case PresentationA 16-year-old girl was referred to Ghaem hospital, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran in April 2016 with acute abdominal pain, abdomino pelvic mass and vaginal bleeding. In addition, an extremely high level of sub unit of human chorionic gonadotropin β-hCG was detected. Based on the emergency condition, she underwent laparotomy and left salpingo-oophorectomy with suboptimal resection of the tumor. Histopathology revealed a tumor compatible with pure non-gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy was performed based on 4 courses of bleomycin-etoposide-cisplatin (BEP) regimen. She is now under chemotherapy.ConclusionsWe recommend the use of minimally invasive, fertility-preserving surgeries in patients with non-gestational ovarian choriocarcinomas.
