Pulmonary artery choriocarcinoma mimicking pulmonary thromboembolism: a case report.

Transl Cancer Res

December 2024

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).
