“… Cerebral MRI: more accurate early detection and description of brain tumours The extension work-up enables GTT to be classified into 4 stages (Table 1), and scored as low or high risk (Table 2). The experience of the Hassan II FES University Hospital in the follow-up of GTT, through a study of 29 cases over a period of 7 years [2] revealed that in 83% of cases the GTT was post-molar, and the staging of patients showed lung metastases in 67%, liver metastases in 19%, kidney metastases in 7% and brain metastases in 7% of cases: this classified the patients as 52% high-risk and 48% low-risk.…”

Gestational trophoblastic disease corresponds to cystic degeneration of the trophoblast villi with excessive secretion of choriogonatrophinic hormone (HCG), groups together lesions : · Benign lesions known as hydatidiform moles (partial or complete) · Malignant lesions known as gestational trophoblastic tumors (GTT), comprising : o Choriocarcinomas o Invasive moles o Trophoblastic tumors of the implantation site (TTSI) Diagnosis is based on questioning and clinical examination, while paraclinical tests, especially ultrasound and Beta HCG, establish the diagnosis of hydatidiform mole. However, TTG may require other tests, and histology confirms the diagnosis. Management is based on a protocol codified according to pre-established guidelines. We report a rare case of an unusual presentation of metastatic GTT causing death in a 32 year old woman just one month post partum.
