Revealing the unanticipated: an uncommon case of colorectal adenocarcinoma transitioning to choriocarcinoma - A case report and literature review

Primary choriocarcinoma of the colon is rare and often misdiagnosed due to its atypical presentation, complicating timely and accurate diagnosis.The aggressive nature of this tumor and lack of standardized therapy necessitates a multidisciplinary approach and personalized treatment plans, especially following relapse.Molecular profiling guided the use of immunotherapy, which showed potential but also presented challenges, highlighting the need for further research in treating this rare malignancy.

Abstract

Primary choriocarcinoma of the colon is rare and often misdiagnosed due to its atypical presentation, complicating timely and accurate diagnosis.The aggressive nature of this tumor and lack of standardized therapy necessitates a multidisciplinary approach and personalized treatment plans, especially following relapse.Molecular profiling guided the use of immunotherapy, which showed potential but also presented challenges, highlighting the need for further research in treating this rare malignancy.
