Abstract

Nongestational primary choriocarcinoma of the ovary is an extremely rare tumour which occurs usually in the reproductive age group. It is extremely difficult to diagnose as it often mimics torsion ovarian cyst, ectopic pregnancy etc. As choriocarcinoma alone is an extremely rare entity, a thorough search for uterine or tubal origin should be undertaken. We present a case of a 15yr old girl having nongestational primary ovarian choriocarcinoma.
