Title: Metastatic placental site trophoblastic tumor. Report of a case with complete response to chemotherapy.
Abstract: Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is a rare form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, commonly insensitive to chemotherapeutic agents.We report on long-term remission in a patient with metastatic PSTT after etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D, cyclophosphamide and vincristine combination chemotherapy. The 27-year-old patient with metastatic lung PSTT was alive, without evidence of disease, > 40 months after treatment.Treatment with multiagent chemotherapy can produce long-term remission, even in patients with metastatic PSTT.
