Abstract
- Objectives: We present a case of metastatic placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) and review the English literature on this entity.<br />Materials and Methods: In addition to the case presentation, literature review describes 23 additional cases with differing treatments and length of survival.<br />Results: The patient is free of disease more than 5 years after diagnosis. She received multimodality treatment including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Eleven other patients survived the disease from 12 to 36 months after initial diagnosis.<br />Conclusion: Metastatic PSTT has a poor prognosis and requires aggressive treatment. ▪.
