Here, we report a case of a placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) in a 36-year-old Chinese woman 10 months after a normal pregnancy. Two months postpartum, the woman presented with abnormal vaginal discharge and her condition was overlooked by her local hospital. The woman did not receive further attention until a mass with a heterogeneous echo was found in an ultrasound examination eight months postpartum. The final diagnosis was confirmed by histological examinations in conjunction with immunohistochemical studies. Since the patient had potential risk factors, she was successfully treated with a hysterectomy and peri- and post-operative chemotherapy. The latest follow-up (16 months after diagnosis) was uneventful, and the patient exhibited no signs of recurrence or metastasis.
