Abstract

Choriocarcinoma is an aggressive neoplasm that occurs in both men and women. Primary gastric choriocarcinomas, on the other hand, have been rarely reported in the literature, mostly as mixed type carcinomas associated with gastric adenocarcinomas. Primary gastric choriocarcinomas constitute approximately 0.08% of all gastric cancers. Their prognosis is worse than gastric adenocarcinomas.
