Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor with antecedent molar pregnancy in an HIV‐positive patient

Abstract

Abstract Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is a rare malignancy arising from neoplastic proliferation of chorionic‐type intermediate trophoblasts. ETT poses significant challenges to clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment and can hence lead to a poor prognosis. We report a unique case of metastatic ETT in a HIV‐positive patient.
