A: The tumor was constituted by only a thin peripheral rim of viable tissue, with central necrosis and hemorrhage. The tumor cells had an intimate mixture of multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast, mononuleate cytotrophoblast, and intermediate trophoblast. There was considerable cytologic atypia in the trophoblast, with polymorphic- hyperchromatic nuclei and abnormal mitotic figures (hematoxylin-eosin stain, magnification 200). Syncytiotrophoblasts were strongly positive for (B) beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and (C) cytokeratin immunostaining (magnification 200).
