Kwan Sik Kim, Jung Hee Kim, Myong Ja Jung, Byoung Chan Oh
Abstract
Primary ovarian choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare germ cell neoplasm, and the prognosis is poor. Especially, the diagnosis of primary ovarian nongestational chori-ocarcinoma can be reliably established in a girl or innocent virgin. We report a case of primary ovarian, nongestational, pure choriocarcinoma in a 16-year-old woman. She died within 1 year after diagnosis in spite of the treatment with surgery and combin-ation chemotherapy.
Key Words: Primary, Nongestational, Ovarian choriocarcinoma
