Abstract
Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is а rare form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN), accounting 0,2 % of total cases of GTN. PSTTs occur in women of childbearing age and most of them have strong desire to preserve fertility. PSSTs are tumors with unpredictable biological behavior, high chemo-resistance and possibly fatal outcome in case of metastatic disease.
Hysterectomy is the primary treatment of choice in early disease. We report a rare clinical case of fertility sparing treatment for PSTT.
