Abstract

Abstract A case of metastatic chorionepithelioma of the lung successfully treated by lobectomy is reported. The Aschheim-Zondek test which was positive prior to operation became negative following lobectomy. Panhysterectomy performed a month after lobectomy failed to reveal any evidence of disease in the pelvic organs. The patient is well and free of evidence of disease over three years following pulmonary lobectomy. The plan of therapy pursued in this case could be feasible only in a very small percentage of cases of chorionepithelioma.
