Gastric Choriocarcinoma Shows Characteristics of Adenocarcinoma and Gestational Choriocarcinoma: A Comparative Genomic Hybridization and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Study

Abstract excerpt

The authors report two cases of the rare primary gastric choriocarcinoma. These tumors showed an overwhelming predominance of cytotrophoblast- and syncytiotrophoblast-like tumor cells that were positive for beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin, with small foci of glandular differentiation. Beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin was also detected serologically in one patient. Comparative genomic hybridization study was...
