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).
