Choriocarcinoma, an aggressive gestational trophoblastic disease, infrequently manifests with spontaneous uterine perforation. We report the case of a 22-year-old female with five months of amenorrhea presenting with acute abdominal pain. Ultrasound and MRI assessment highlighted a uterine perforation with choriocarcinoma. Subsequent total abdominal hysterectomy revealed choriocarcinoma in the bicornuate uterus with uterine perforation. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of choriocarcinoma in the cornu of the uterus. Timely diagnosis is vital to reduce mortality. Notably, choriocarcinoma in a bicornuate uterus is exceptionally rare. Radiological evaluations are critical for diagnosis, staging, and follow-up.
