“…Alpha-feto protein and carcinoembryonic antigen were at normal levels. On September 18,1981, chest X-ray film showed several abnormal shadows in both lungs, which suggested the metastasis of the malignant intracranial tumor. Surgery and radiation therapy had little effect, and her general condition continued to deteriorate.…”

A 12-year-old Japanese girl with a primary intracranial choriocarcinoma arising from the pituitary fossa is reported. There was a markedly high level of serum human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) throughout the clinical course. Postmortem examination revealed metastatic lesions found in the cerebellum, dura mater, skull (clivus, sphenoidal bone), and lungs. Immunohistochemical characteristics of the primary intracranial tumor and lung lesions disclosed positive stainings for HCG and HCG-beta in the neoplastic syncytiotrophoblastic cells. ACTA PATHOL. JPN. 36: 773-781, 1986.

Choriocarcinoma is a potentially curable neoplasm. Although the presence of intracranial metastases worsens the ultimate prognosis, several reports have shown successful response to therapy. This clinical report outlines a method by which the appropriate therapy may be initiated in a patient with intracranial metastases, who otherwise may not have survived the interval necessary for the induction of successful therapy.
