Introduction Gestational trophoblastic disease1 i is a rare developmental form of proliferative trophoblastic tissue in women of reproductive age that involves both benign and malignant entities that include hydatidiform mole (complete or partial), choriocarcinoma, invasive mole, epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT), and placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT). Four of these known as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia 2 ii, and hydatidiform is most common type of GTD. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a type of gestational trophoblastic disease that is almost always malignant, and can metastasize and be fatal if not treated. The ultimate treatment for GTD includes surgery (evacuation of the proliferative trophoblastic tissue, hysterectomy), chemotherapy regimens, radiotherapy and emerging targeted therapies. It is one of the most chemotherapy responsive and highly curable cancer. In most instances, it is cured by surgical evacuation of the uterus. If persistent, it is treated with chemotherapy which provides response in >90% of the cases. In the unresponsive persistent cases and if the women has completed her child bearing, hysterectomy is generally recommended. Here, we report a case of atypical GTD uncommon, that is not fitting a single diagnosis treated by chemotherapy and bilateral uterine artery ligation.
