Article Synopsis
- A 1st-time mother experienced 11 months of no menstruation after a cesarean section and was on birth control pills when she was diagnosed with a rare placental site trophoblastic tumor.
- The diagnosis followed a biopsy and was indicated by slightly elevated β-hCG levels, an enlarged uterus, and hematometra.
- This tumor is resistant to chemotherapy, complicating treatment; localized cases are managed with surgery, while those that have spread require more aggressive treatment options.
