A high serum level of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) normally indicates pregnancy in healthy women. We were confused by this finding in one of our patients. This 18-year-old girl presented with amenorrhoea of 1-month duration, a positive pregnancy test and a high beta-hCG serum level although taking contraceptives. Pregnancy was excluded by ultrasound. Three years previously, she had had an osteosarcoma of the humerus. The tumour initially had been wide resected and had shown a good response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with COSS-96-protocol.
