Abstract
Objective: A case of placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) that presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding is reported because of its rarity. Case report: The patient presented with 8 weeks of amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding and a persistently low titer of β-human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG). A large circumscribed mass in the uterus was revealed by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Hysteroscopic biopsy confirmed the presence of PSTT and a hysterectomy was subsequently performed. The patient is well after 6 months of follow up and her βhCG titer normalized. Conclusion: Rare forms of trophoblastic disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of persistent bleeding and low titers of βhCG.
