The trophoblast of early placenta has many attributes of malignant tissue: it displays highly proliferative and invasive properties and expresses hormones, growth factors, growth factor receptors and oncogene products. Moreover, this tissue may have an autocrine control of growth. Collectively, these properties are similar to those of malignant tissues and the normal trophoblast is then considered as a "pseudomalignant" tissue. Moreover, either benign (hydatidiform mole) or malignant (choriocarcinoma) trophoblastic disease may be developed from the trophoblastic cells. In this article, the biological features of both the normal and the tumoral trophoblast will be presented. Finally, the trophoblast is a model and a source of molecules of biological interest.
