Choriocarcinoma metastatic to the lung. A cytologic study with identification of human choriogonadotropin with an immunoperoxidase technique.
1983
: A case of choriocarcinoma metastatic to the lung following a previous hydatidiform mole is presented. It was possible to make definitive identification of trophoblastic elements on a needle aspiration biopsy using an immunoperoxidase staining technique, thus avoiding diagnostic thoracotomy prior to therapeutic intervention. A method of immunoperoxidase staining of previously fixed and Papanicolaou-stained needle aspiration biopsy specimens is also described, and other uses of the immunoperoxidase technique on needle biopsy specimens are discussed.
