Overview
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia may be classified according to histology into four subtypes: invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental-site trophoblastic tumor, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor.[1]
Classification
- Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia is classified as follows: [1]
- Invasive mole
- Choriocarcinoma
- Placental-site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT); (very rare)
- Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT); (extremely rare)
