A case is reported of a 38‐year‐old woman with metastatic choriocarcinoma which followed four recurrent consecutive hydatidiform moles occurring within the preceding S‐year period. She conceived while having pulmonary metastasis, had a coexistent normal pregnancy and delivercd a normal infant at term. Surgical resection of the lung lesion together with chemotherapy accomplished a sustained remission, with no evidence of disease after 20 months' follow‐up.
