Gastrointestinal bleeding due to Primary gastrointestinal choriocarcinoma (PGC) in male: a case report and review of literature.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Primary gastrointestinal choriocarcinoma (PGC) is a rare cancer in male. The diagnosis is difficult and the outcome of treatment is limited. We presented a case of a 84 years old male with PGC metastasized to multi organs treated at HMUH by two times emergency surgery over a short period of time because of severe gastrointestinal bleeding; the last hospitalization was for cerebral hemorrhage by PGC metastases with poor prognosis. We presented a review of medical literature of this very rare disease.
