Abstract
Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is a very rare form of gestational trophoblastic diseases, which represent the neoplastic transformation of intermediate trophoblastic cells that normally play a critical role in implantation. They are commonly seen in reproductive age group and can occur after normal pregnancy, abortion or following gestational trophoblastic disease. We present this case of PSTT in an obstetric hysterectomy specimen done for severe postpartum haemorrhage with a fibroid complicating pregnancy.
