Abstract
A 30-year-old woman underwent laparoscopy for diagnosis and treatment of ectopic pregnancy. A dark-red bulging mass was observed in the right uterine horn. Laparoscopic hysterotomy was performed. The histological examination revealed a hydatidiform mole, which was confirmed by DNA ploidy analysis showing triploidy (69 XXY) as apartial hydatidiform mole after the cytogenetic examination. On the third postoperative day, the thoracic computed tomography scan revealed punctuate lesions. These lesions disappeared after single-agent chemotherapy with methothrexate. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of cornual persistent gestational trophoblastic neoplasia managed by laparoscopic surgery.
