Why is it important?
It is unusual and needs to be recognised early and management initiated early as well.
Perspectives
I hope this article helps the scientific community to keep an eye on unusual manifestation of choricarcinoma and always remember that a low Hb and choriocarcinoma should raise suspicion of the condition.
