        Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia encompasses a broad spectrum of invasive placental diseases, including invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site tumor, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor. Clinical case: In this report, we analyze the clinical case of a 26-year-old postpartum patient who was diagnosed late with choriocarcinoma due to low clinical suspicion and an unusual presentation of the disease. The aim of this work is to raise awareness among readers about the importance of establishing a precise and timely diagnosis of GTN. Additionally, a thorough discussion of the topic will be conducted, providing insights for early disease diagnosis and classification to reduce associated complications.
