Choriocarcinoma and placental site trophoblastic tumor are rare types of gestational trophoblastic disease that can develop after a pregnancy. Choriocarcinoma develops from the placental cells that form after conception, while placental site trophoblastic tumor arises from the cells that attach a fertilized egg to the uterine wall. Both types of tumors are treated with chemotherapy or surgery following a diagnosis.
