Abstract
-
We report a rare case of epithelioid trophoblastic tumor. The patient was initially thought to have endometrial carcinoma with high possibility of clear cell carcinoma on endometrial biopsy and pelvic MRI. The Pap smear showed feature of squamous cell carcinoma and was not consistent with the physical findings. The serum beta-hCG was 33.26 mIU/ml. The initial biopsy and pelvic MRI findings lead the clinicians to misdiagnose the case as a carcinoma.
