Core Tip
Core Tip: A 17-year-old unmarried girl was misdiagnosed with a cerebral hemangioma with intracranial hemorrhage in a local hospital after presentation with severe head pain. The patient was treated with craniotomy three times. The pathological results of posterior intracranial hematoma showed choriocarcinoma, and the patient was diagnosed as choriocarcinoma (21 points in stage IV). For female patients of childbearing age with an intracranial hematoma, the possibility of brain metastasis by choriocarcinoma should be considered. It is necessary to obtain a detailed sexual history, include menstruation, beginning age of first sex, contraception, etc. The level of β-human chorionic gonadotropin should be tested at the beginning, and a stratified treatment should be administered according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging and World Health Organization prognostic scoring systems.
