RESUMEN
El coriocarcinoma es un tumor poco frecuente. El diagnóstico temprano es difícil. Presentamos un caso de coriocarcinoma que debuta con síntomas no ginecológicos. En el momento del diagnóstico presenta metástasis pulmonares y cerebrales. A pesar de la buena respuesta inicial al tratamiento la paciente fallece por complicaciones secundarias. No debemos olvidar la posibilidad de este tumor ante una mujer joven con síntomas y/o signos neurológicos o respiratorios que no responden al tratamiento inicial

Choriocarcinoma are unusual tumors. Early diagnosis is difficult. We present a case of choriocarcinoma, the first symptoms of which were non-gynaecological. At the time of diagnosis both pulmonary and cerebral metastasis were confirmed. In spite of the good initial therapeutic response, the patient died due to secondary complications. We should not forget the possibility of this tumor in a young patient with neurological and respiratory symptoms that do not respond to initial treatment
