“…Presenting features are similar to adenocarcinoma with upper GI bleeding as the most common symptom [1,2]. Most cases show metastasis at the time of presentation and the most common sites of metastasis are lymph nodes followed by liver, peritoneum and lungs.…”

“…[1]. Choriocarcinoma can also develop from the stomach very rarely and only few cases have been reported in the literature so far [2]. Moreover, around 70 % of gastric choriocarcinomas show some adenocarcinoma components along with it [3][4][5] and making pure choriocarcinoma of stomach a rare entity.…”

“…These hypotheses include origin from a gonadal angle displaced in the abdomen [14] , histological resemblance to choriocarcinoma [10] , origin from an underlying gastric teratoma [15] , and the retrodifferentiation or opisthoplatia of carcinoma cells to the level of the embryonal ectoderm with the ability to form trophoblasts [16] . The finding that gastric choriocarcinomas are frequently accompanied by adenocarcinoma is supported by this retrodifferentiation theory.…”
