Choriocarcinomas consist of two cell populations:
Traditionally, the syncytiotrophoblasts are said to produce the beta-hCG; [1] however, it has been determined that cytotrophoblast also produce some. [2] The syncytiotrophoblasts are often arranged around the outside of cytotrophoblast cell clusters, reminicent of the arrangement in the placenta . On placental villi , the syncytiotrophoblasts are superficial to and, early in pregnancy , cover the cytotrophoblast. Choriocarcinoma is classified as a germ cell tumour . It can arise in the testis or ovary and from a hydatidiform mole . It may be part of a mixed germ cell tumour . Related images
