Choriocarcinoma is an uncommon, but very often curable cancer associated with pregnancy. A baby may or may not develop in these types of pregnancy.
The cancer may develop after a normal pregnancy; however, it is most often associated with a complete hydatidiform mole (https://health.google.com/health/ref/Hydatidiform+mole). The abnormal tissue from the mole can continue to grow even after it is removed and can turn into cancer. About half of all women with a choriocarcinoma had a hydatidiform mole, or molar pregnancy.
Choriocarcinomas may also occur after an abortion, ectopic pregnancy (https://health.google.com/health/ref/Ectopic+pregnancy), or genital tumor (https://health.google.com/health/ref/Tumor).
