Gestational Choriocarcinoma with Metastasis to an Ectopic Kidney in a Patient Presenting with Hemiplegia

Abstract

A case of gestational choriocarcinoma with widespread metastasis in a 29-year old woman, with a right ectopic kidney, is presented here. The clinical features, pathology and investigations with emphasis on radiological findings were discussed. The unusual metastasis to an ectopic kidney that led to a haemorrhage that eventually resulted in her death was also highlighted.
