Abstract：Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is a rare tumor which originates from the chorionic intermediate trophoblast.It occurs mostly in women of childbearing age,especially after full-term pregnancy.The clinical manifestation of ETT is similar to that of placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT).About 70％ of ETT patients have the complaint of vaginal bleeding,and moderate up-regulation of serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels is widely found.Surgery is the preferred option for the treatment of ETT,and the effect of chemotherapy remains controversial.Patients without metastasis have a favourable prognosis,but metastasis comes with a very poor prognosis.
