Key Points

  • The study examines the incidence of malignant transformation in patients with atypical placental site nodules (APSN).
  • Retrospective case series analysis of patients diagnosed with APSN
  • Reviewed patient records for evidence of malignant transformation
  • Compared findings with existing literature
  • Found no evidence of malignant transformation among patients
  • Contradicts previous studies reporting an 11%-14% malignant transformation risk
  • Highlights the need for international consensus on management and follow-up for APSN

Abstract

In this study, we found no evidence of malignant transformation in our patients, which conflicts with other published data conferring an 11%-14% risk of malignant transformation. An international consensus opinion needs to be reached within the Gestational trophoblastic community regarding the optimal advice, management, and follow-up regimens for patients diagnosed with APSN.
