Abstract
Non-gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma is an exceptionally rare malignant germ cell tumor characterized by a particularly aggressive course, difficult diagnosis, and the inability to predict outcomes at the early stages of the disease. Objective: To draw the attention to the possibility of pure non-gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma mimicking an ectopic ovarian pregnancy. We present the case history of a patient with diagnosed non-gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma mimicking ectopic pregnancy, recorded in the 3rd gynecological department of the State Budgetary Healthcare Institution of the Republic of Mordovia "Republican Clinical Hospital № 4" (Saransk). Our clinical observation adds to the already known information about this rare disease and, thus, we hope that the information provided will be an additional reason to increase the level of medical vigilance in terms of diagnosis of this disease.
