Post-term gestational choriocarcinoma presenting with hemorrhagic brain and bilateral renal metastases: a rare case report
This report highlights a rare case of gestational choriocarcinoma with extensive metastasis presenting years after a post-term pregnancy. Early suspicion and aggressive treatment are crucial, though prognosis is poor in advanced, treatment-resistant cases. Routine beta-hCG monitoring in postpartum women with unexplained symptoms may enable earlier detection and timely intervention.
