An Unusual Incidental Finding: Epithelioid Trophoblastic Tumor on the Site of Surgical Repair of a Ventral Incisional Hernia after a Caesarean Section

Abstract

Epithelioid Trophoblastic Tumor is a rare form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia only reported in approximately 110 cases in literature. We present the case of a 50 years old woman incidentally diagnosed with an ETT on the site of surgical repair of a ventral incisional hernia after a Caesarean section.
