Question

Gestational Trophoblastic neoplasm does not include

• A. Choriocarcinoma
• B. Placental site trophoblastic tumour
• C. Invasive mole
• D. Partial mole

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasm (GTN) refers to a group of rare tumors that involve abnormal growth of cells inside a woman's uterus. The key types of GTN include:
1. Choriocarcinoma: A highly malignant tumor that can develop from the trophoblastic cells, known for its aggressive nature.
2. Placental site trophoblastic tumor: A rare form that arises where the placenta attaches to the uterine wall.
3. Invasive mole: Although it shares some characteristics with GTN, it is a type of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease rather than a neoplasm. It occurs when parts of the molar pregnancy invade the muscle layer of the uterus. This differentiates it from the other forms which are classified under GTN.

Partial mole forms part of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease but is not categorized as GTN.

Therefore, Invasive mole is the correct answer as it does not fall under Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasm.
