Placenta increta mimicking placental site trophoblastic tumor: A rare case report
PI can mimic a rare malignant tumor called PSTT with similar laboratory and clinical findings (Severe bleeding). The differential diagnosis of retained placenta in patients with extensive bleeding, either after vaginal delivery or after Cesarean section or abortion, should be carefully considered from PSTT. Both diseases (PSTT and PI) are treated with hysterectomy. Histological findings can help correctly diagnose PI from rare malignant tumors of PSTT.
