Definition
English
:
A malignant metastatic form of trophoblastic tumors. Unlike the
HYDATIDIFORM MOLE
,
choriocarcinoma
contains no
CHORIONIC VILLI
but rather sheets of undifferentiated cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts (
TROPHOBLASTS
). It is characterized by the large amounts of
CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN
produced. Tissue origins can be determined by DNA analyses: placental (fetal) origin or non-placental origin (
CHORIOCARCINOMA
, NON-GESTATIONAL).
