Possible cause of choriocarcinoma after hydatidiform mole is all except:
Rising hCG
More Theca lutein cysts
Increase uterus size
Sub urethral nodule
Ans. is b, i.e. More theca lutein cystsSuburethral Nodule indicates metastases choriocarcinoma. All others are very well seen in the conversion of a complete hydatidiform mole into choriocarcinoma except more theca lutein cyst.It is not the number of cyst but size of cyst (>= 6 cms) which indicate neoplastic \conversion.Suburethral nodule may be a manifestation of vaginal metastasis from choriocarcinoma.Metastatic choriocarcinoma is however seen in only about 4% of patients after evacuation of a complete mole and vaginal metastasis that may present with suburethral nodule occur in only 30% of patients with such metastatic disease. Hence it is an unusual indicator.Raised b-hCG level present in choriocarcinoma.
