This case demonstrates a rare event of retained invasive placenta masquerading as choriocarcinoma. The patient presented with heavy vaginal bleeding following vaginal delivery complicated by retained products of conception. Ultrasound and computed tomography demonstrated a vascular endometrial mass, invading the uterine wall and raising suspicion for choriocarcinoma. Hysterectomy revealed retained invasive placenta.

This is a retrospective study which was conducted from January 2016 to January 2018. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Retained products of conception findings by Ultrasonography in early pregnancy ( 5 weeks to 10 weeks) abortion. Different Biomarkers of many authors & research papers were taken in guidance of our study. Out of total 120 cases 55 % was utero-vaginal bleeding with pain who presented clinically at our centre. After USG evaluation it was found that 48.3% was having intracavitary mass with vascularity and 30 % was having only intracavitary mass. 53.3 % was in the gestational age of 9 weeks to 10 weeks of duration of pregnancy. So it is concluded that after evaluation by USG if there is both intracavitary mass & vascularity within the endometrium, then the possibility of RPOC detection accuracy is more
