Chorionepithelioma in men is extremely rare and is the most malignant in its clinical manifestations. In men, it develops mainly from teratoid tumors of the testicle, lungs, mediastinum, retroperitoneal space. Ectopic chorionepitheliomas are much less common. All types of chorionic epitheliomas and their metastases are hormonally active - they produce chorionic gonodatropin.
