Abstract

Nongestational choriocarcinoma of the ovary is a germ cell tumor with a worse prognosis than gestational choriocarcinoma. In this report we present a nongestational choriocarcinoma that was referred to our hospital as an ectopic pregnancy. The clinical features, management, and outcome are discussed.
