ABSTRACT
Choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumour that arrise from trophoblastic tissue. It metastsize rapidly to vital organs including lungs and brain. It shows very good response to appropriately chosen chemotherapeutic regimen. A case of gestational choriocarcinoma with vaginal metastasis is reported. She responded very well to EMACO regime. Considering poor compliance for long term follow up, hysterectomy was done after 3 cycles of chemotherapy. She was disease free during three years of follow up.
