Preferred Label : placental site trophoblastic tumor;
RADLEX synonyms : PSTT;
Definition : An uncommon variant of choriocarcinoma. It is composed almost entirely of mononuclear
cytotrophoblasts (trophoblasts). Because its secretion of hCG (chorionic gonadotropin)
is low, a large tumor may develop before the hCG can be detected. [MeSH];
