A tumor-like trophoblastic lesion (placental site nodule)

Plasental bölge nodülü intermediate trofoblastlardan gelişen nadir görülen benign bir lezyondur.Benign bir lezyon olmasına rağmen histolojik görünümü nedeniyle intermediate trofoblastlarınagresif lezyonları olan plasental bölge neoplastik tümörü ve epiteloid trofoblastik tümör ileskuamoz hücreli karsinom gibi trofoblastik olmayan neoplazilerden histopatolojik ayrımıönemlidir.Bu makalede intermitan menometroraji şikayeti ile başvurup tanısal küretaj yapılan veplasental bölge nodülü tanısı alan 33 yaşında bir bayan hasta sunulmuştur.

Tümör benzeri bir trof oblastik lezyon (p lasental site nodül)

Placental site nodule, developing from intermediate trophoblasts, is a rare benign lesion. Althoughit is a benign lesion, it is histopathological differential diagnosis from placental site trophoblastictumor and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor which are aggressive lesions of the intermediatetrophoblasts, and non-trophoblastic neoplasms such as squamous cell carcinoma, is important dueto its histological appearance. In our report, placental site nodule diagnosed in 33-year-old, femalepatient who was suffering from intermittant menometrorrhagia and had a diagnostic curettage ispresented.
