Abstract

Choriocarcinoma is a malignant gestational trophoblastic disease that demonstrates high incidence of metastasis. The metastasis is primarily hematogenous, but may be done by lymphatic or direct extension. The frequent sites of the metastasis are lung, vagina and pelvis, but the renal involvement is rare. We report two cases of choriocarcinoma in kidney in two multiparous 29-and 35-year-old women.
