Massive hemoptysis as a rare presentation of metastatic choriocarcinoma.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;16(3):235-6.

Choriocarcinoma is an uncommon but rapidly invasive and widely metastasizing tumour. Lung is the commonest organ of spread, usually presenting as mild hemoptysis and chest pain in a patient with a recent miscarriage or known molar pregnancy. One such case of a 25 years old woman is reported who did not have any history of recent pregnancy or miscarriage and presented with a life-threatening massive hemoptysis. She responded well to therapy once the diagnosis of metastatic choriocarcinoma was established .
