Eight patients with choriocarcinoma associated with ectopic pregnancy were treated at the John I. Brewer Trophoblastic Disease Center of Northwestern University Medical School from 1962 through 1981. This represented 4% of the 197 patients with documented choriocarcinoma or 1.7% of all 459 patients with gestational trophoblastic disease treated with chemotherapy at the center during this 20-year period. The presenting signs and symptoms were similar to those classically outlined for ectopic pregnancies: amenorrhea and abdominal pain (88%), irregular vaginal bleeding (75%), positive pregnancy test (100%), and adnexal mass (50%). Six patients (75%) had metastatic disease and four of these six had one or more high-risk factors. Two patients (25%) died of metastatic disease, both of whom had received chemotherapy elsewhere before referral to the center.
