Choriocarcinoma (CCA) can be classified into three subtypes as: gestational when it develops from any event related to pregnancy, non-gestational when they are derived from germ cells or somatic ABSTRACTGestational choriocarcinoma is a malignant tumor with a high potential for angioinvasion and metastasis that is defined within Gestational Trophoblastic Diseases.The incidence is variable, with the presence of a complete molar pregnancy as the main risk factor, however, it has the capacity to develop from any type of gestational event.The clinical manifestations will depend on the involvement and extent of the pathology, so in the case of metastatic disease the organ mainly affected will be the lung, while in local disease the common finding is irregular vaginal bleeding.Diagnosis is based on measurement of serum beta-hCG levels accompanied by a complete medical history, an exhaustive physical examination and the performance of imaging aids such as transvaginal or transabdominal ultrasound.Central medical management consists of the administration of cycles of chemotherapy with one or more drugs depending on the extent of the condition.Finally, the prognosis is usually favorable, however, it depends to a great extent on the opportune recognition of the case, therefore, Through this document, we seek to provide an updated vision of the problem in question in order to facilitate comprehensive medical management and, therefore, contribute to the reduction of epidemiological figures related to morbidity and mortality.
