Abstract
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) consisting of Invasive mole, choriocarcinoma and Placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) have generally good prognosis. They usually follow molar pregnancy but sometimes could occur after an abortion or a term pregnancy. Since these patients are usually young, in reproductive age group and potentially curable fertility preservation is of paramount imprtance.
