===General===
*Classified as a [[germ cell tumour]].
*May be preceded by a [[complete hydatidiform mole]].<ref name=Ref_PBoD1110-1>{{Ref PBoD|1110-1111}}</ref>
===Gross===
*Dark, shaggy, focally hemorrhagic & friable/necrotic-appearing.
*Invasive border.
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Two cell populations:
#'''C'''ytotrophoblasts - '''key feature'''.
#*'''C'''lear cytoplasm.
#*Polygonal shaped cells in cords/masses.
#*Distinct cell borders.
#*Single uniform nucleus.
#Syncytiotrophoblasts - may be absent.<ref>URL: [http://www.webpathology.com/image.asp?n=4&Case=36 http://www.webpathology.com/image.asp?n=4&Case=36]. Accessed on: 8 February 2011.</ref>
#*Large + many irreg. or lobular hyperchromatic nuclei.
#*Eosinophilic vacuolated cytoplasm (contains hCG).
*+/-Hemorrhage.
*+/-Necrosis.
Notes:
*No ''[[chorionic villi]]'' should be present.
**If chorionic villi are present... it is likely a type of [[hydatidiform mole]].
*The dual cell population may not be evident at first.
**Hemorrhage and marked nuclear pleomorphism are suggestive of the diagnosis.
