Epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (ETT) is a rare form of gesta-tional trophoblastic tumour arising from intermediate trophoblas-tic cells. The clinical course of ETT is not well-established due to the rarity of this tumour, however the majority of ETTs present as localised uterine tumours amenable to surgical excision and generally are seen to have a non-aggressive course. We present an unusual case of ETT in a 51-year-old woman with widespread intra-abdominal tumour dissemination at time of diagnosis, as well as radiological evidence of liver and lung metastases.
