© 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc..

Placental trophoblastic site tumor (PSTT) is a rare type of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). PSTT has a higher mortality than other types of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), with a rate of 16.1%, due to its relatively unpredictable behavior and reduced response to chemotherapy. Its diagnostic and management are very challenging in Low resources settings particularity in Haiti where MRI, PET Scan and IHC are not available. Further, the follow-up is very difficult because of social, political, and economic issues limiting the capacity of our patients to be present at all scheduled visits. No case of PSTT has been publicly described yet the Haitian experience in the literature in the management of such case compared to the developed world. We present a case of PSTT successfully diagnosed and managed at Mirebalais University Hospital (MUH) in Haiti with the support of telepathology and intentional partners while highlighting the difference that we observed compare to the developed world.
