Choriocarcinoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chorioepithelioma, more commonly known as choriocarcinoma, is a rare tumor that arises from the tissue that normally forms the placenta during pregnancy.
Common causes: It is usually related to previous pregnancies, including molar pregnancies, and is part of what is known as gestational trophoblastic disease.
Common symptoms: It may present with abnormal vaginal bleeding after a pregnancy, changes in the levels of certain pregnancy hormones, or pelvic discomfort.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the professional who assesses this condition and coordinates follow-up with the oncology team when necessary. If you experience unusual bleeding after a pregnancy, seeing a doctor allows the cause to be clarified in time.
