This week there are 2 cases we would like to post,
• Referred by Obgyn in Cilegon with GTN
• Gen St: conj anemic, Neck : thyroid enlargement 3x3x2cm,
• Gyn st : there is no mass in the posterior vaginal wal; uterus 3 fingers above simf, cytic mass in the right adnx
7x5cm and left adnx 6x4cm
• USG 4/12/08 : uterus 10x6x6cm w/ small cystic masses in the Corpus size
3x4cm . Right adnx : multiloc cystic mass 6,5x4,3x4,9cm
left adnx : multiloc cystic mass 6x4,2x6,3cm. Ascites(-), hepar (N)
Result : GTN w/ teca lutein cyst bilateral
• bHCG 3/12/08=15.200
• 15/12/08: TSH=0,013 FT4=3,96
• 2/12/08 Thorax : multiple nodul in both lung à lung meta
• 5/1/09 vaginal bleeding à emergency ward
– CBC : 6,8/9100/385000
• Problem
GTN w/ lung metastasis
• Suggestion
Improved general condition w/ transfusion and
straight to do chemoth w/ MTX+Etoposide
If there were massive bleeding àhisterectomy
Discussion
• This patient is Stadium II-III (FIGO). The treatment of
patient with GTN metastatic, is a combination 2 regiment
chemotherapy, Methotrexate and Dactinomycin. Or other
combination regiment, Methotrexate and Etoposide.
(Evidence based level III-C). Other treatment, single
regiment only, such as Metothrexate, can be used also for
treating GTN metastatic. (Evidence based level III-C).

Case 2:
• Ms 18yo
- abdomen enlargement since 2 months ago
- regular menstrual periode
- BW ↓ 4 kg in 2 mo
• Gen.state: wnl
• Gyn.state:
Abd: abdomen enlarged, solid mass until 2 finger
above umbilicus, limited mobility, ascites (-)
Rt: solid mass fullfilled Douglas pouch until 2 finger
above umbilicus
• USG 28/11/08:
- uterus normal,
- On Douglas pouch: inhomogen solid mass with
cystic part size 8,8 x 6,3 x 5,0 cm, came from right
ovary (there is still healthy tissue of ovary),
neovascularization with RI 0,3
- On left cranial: inhomogen solid mass with cystic
part size 136 x 90 x 132 cm, neovacularization with

- Ascites (-)
--> bilateral solid ovarian neoplasm susp.malignancy
Tumor marker 1/12/08 :
– Ca-125: 106,1
– LDH: 2403
– AFP: 0,9
– ß-HCG: 13,1
Problem
Solid Ovarian Neoplasm
suspected Malignancy
on Very Young Woman
Discussion
- Actually it is not necessary to do VC in cases of ovarian neoplasm in young woman, because it doesnt change the modality of treatment -->conservative
- Because most of the solid ovarian neoplasma in this age is likely to be Dysgerminoma, and it is very responsive to chemotherapy
This indeed is very likely to be a dysgerminoma. The elevated LDH supports this diagnosis. But we have to wait for the definite pathology report after surgical staging. Fertility can be saved in this young woman.
