Core Tip
Core Tip: Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is rare clinically. we describe a case of ETT in the lower uterine segment and cervical canal. The lesion was present in the lower uterine segment and endocervical canal where the cesarean incisions were made. A search of the PubMed database using the search terms "cesarean section" and "ETT" retrieved 13 cases of ETT, all of which had a history of cesarean section, and the lesions were located in the cesarean incision of the uterus. Therefore, we deduced that cesarean section trauma had an important effect on the occurrence of ETT at this site.
