Evaluation of Epithelioid Trophoblastic Tumor in the Light of Literature.

Epithelioid trophoblastic tumors (ETTs) are extremely rare gestational trophoblastic neoplasia and a subtype of the placental site trophoblastic tumors (PSTTs). To our knowledge, there have been only 110 patients diagnosed with the ETT. ETT is generally seen in the reproductive period, following term pregnancy. Generally, as in PSTT, β-HCG levels are normal or slightly elevated. The most common complaint is abnormal vaginal bleeding. At the time of diagnosis, findings of metastasis can be seen in 50% of the cases. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TV-USG) and computed tomography (CT) are used for imaging in the literature. Surgical treatment and follow-up are sufficient in the early stages. We present a case of a 37-year-old ETT patient who suffered from irregular vaginal bleeding.
