ABSTRACT
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) comprises a group of human neoplastic diseases that derive from fetal trophoblastic tissues. They are proliferative as well as degenerative disorders of placental elements and include complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) or partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) (90%), invasive mole (IM) (5-8%), which could also be metastatic, villous, or villous choriocarcinoma (CC) (1-2%), and placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) (1-2%). We present three cases of GTN, two mimicking tuberculosis radiologically, and all three are associated with pulmonary embolism.
