ABSTRACT

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: La neoplasia gestacional trofoblástica es un tumor raro, derivado de la gestación que procede de un desarrollo anormal del tejido trofoblástico. Incluye cuatro variedades, entre las que se encuentra la mola invasiva y el coriocarcinoma. Puede tener diferentes grados de proliferación; el diagnóstico diferencial es decisivo porque influye directamente en el tratamiento. Las molas premalignas suelen tratarse con legrado uterino, las malignas requieren tratamiento sistémico con mono o poliquimioterapia. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 13 años, hospitalizada debido a un cuadro de vómitos y dolor abdominal. Durante el internamiento se le practicaron estudios complementarios: determinación de la fracción β de la gonadotropina coriónica humana (β-hCG) y tomografía axial computada para plantear el diagnóstico diferencial. El diagnóstico definitivo lo aportó la biopsia obtenida mediante legrado. El tratamiento se basó en la poliquimioterapia. En la actualidad está en remisión completa de la enfermedad. CONCLUSIONES: Resulta imprescindible detectar lo más temprano posible la gestación anómala, entender perfectamente su evolución e importancia de la anticoncepción mientras se trata y la enfermedad desaparece y minimizar la cantidad de pacientes que deben recibir quimioterapia.


Abstract BACKGROUND: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia is a rare tumor that originates from pregnancy and it develop from anormal proliferation of trophoblastic tissue. It includes four varieties, including invasive mole and choriocarcinoma. They can present different degrees of proliferation, being essential differential diagnosis since it directly influences the treatment. Premalignant moles are usually treated by suction curettage while malignant forms require systemic therapy with mono or polychemotherapy. OBJECTIVE: Report the case, paying special attention to the differential diagnosis and treatment used, analyzing the reasons why polychemotherapy is established and describing the different possible options, based on current scientific evidence. CLINICAL CASE: We present the case of an invasive mola in a 13-year-old patient hospitalized by vomiting and abdominal pain. During this period, complementary techniques such as the determination of the β fraction of the human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) or computed tomography (CT) are required to establish the differential diagnosis. Finally, the definitive diagnosis is provided by the biopsy obtained by curettage. Treatment is instituted with the pattern of polychemotherapy being, currently, with complete remission of the disease. CONCLUSIONS: Thus, it is essential to detect anomalous gestation early, to understand perfectly the evolution of this entity, the importance of contraception during its resolution, and to minimize patients susceptible to chemotherapy.
