Abstract
- Gestational trophoblastic disease is derived from the intermediate trophoblast cells which are arisied from the fetal chorion. The incidence of invasive mole in Korea was about 1.8 per 1000 delivereies. The rate of ectopic pregnancy is about 1.9% of all pregnancies. An ectopic pregnancy located in the cornual portion of uterus occurs in only 2-4% of all ectopic pregnancies. It is rare that the invasive mole is associated with cornual pregnancy. A case of metastatic invasive mole in the lung arising from a cornual pregnancy is reported, which was cured by operation and combination chemotherapy.
