Epigenetics of ovarian cancer: from the lab to the clinic.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Herpes gestationis (HG) is a rare, recurrent, pruritic, vesicobullous dermatosis occurring predominantly in pregnancy and seldom in early puerperium. Reports of the association of HG with choriocarcinoma are extremely rare and this case highlights such a possible link. CASE:This case focuses on the late pos...
