Introduction: Fusion of mononucleated cytotrophoblasts into syncytium leads to trophoblast senescence. Yet, premature senescence is associated with preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction (FGR), and related obstetrical syndromes. A set of 28 transcripts that comprise senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) was recently described in placentas from women with preeclampsia.

Introduction And Importance: Uterine arteriovenous malformations (UAVMs) are rare vascular anomalies caused by abnormal connections between uterine arteries and veins. They can lead to severe bleeding, requiring prompt and accurate diagnosis. Historically treated with hysterectomy, transcatheter vascular embolization has emerged as a fertility-sparing alternative.

Pulmonary artery choriocarcinoma mimicking pulmonary thromboembolism: a case report.

Transl Cancer Res

Department of Geriatric Respiratory Disease, Institute of Guangdong Provincial Geriatrics, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Background: Primary choriocarcinoma of the pulmonary artery is an exceedingly rare malignant neoplasm, which is often misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific clinical presentation. While this condition is characterized by the presence of trophoblastic cells, typically associated with gestational trophoblastic diseases, we encountered a case occurring in an extragenital location. The rarity of such tumors makes it challenging for clinicians to consider them in differential diagnosis, especially when the initial symptoms mimic more common conditions such as pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE).

BACKGROUND Gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTDs) are a group of benign and malignant tumors that arise from placental tissue. Ectopic pregnancies most commonly occur within the fallopian tubes. The estimated incidence of ectopic gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTDs) is approximated at 1.
