doi:10.12280/gjfckx.20210655

Abstract

Abstract:

Choriocarcinoma is a kind of gynecological tumor with extremely high mortality. With the rational application of chemotherapeutic drugs, choriocarcinoma can also get a satisfactory curative effect. Hypercalcemia is often associated with malignant tumors, but the incidence of hypercalcemia in choriocarcinoma is very low. We report a case of diagnosis and treatment of extremely high-risk choriocarcinoma (Ⅱ, 13) characterized by β-hCG up to 1 400 588.00 IU/L and hypercalcemia in blood. During the process of diagnosis and treatment, the patients were treated successfully by a combination of treatment about calcium reduction, chemotherapy and surgery. After β-hCG decreased to the normal range, the patient refused to receive consolidation chemotherapy. After 6 months of close follow-up, we don′t observe the disease bounces back. This case provides a new thinking for the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of choriocarcinoma.
