The case was managed by dilatation and cürettage assisted with ultrasonography. But procedure was unsuccessful. GS still has being persisting. Patient was followed up by expactant management. The hCG resolution time was 40-50 days. Normal uterin anatomy was achieved after 103 days without complications. About 6 months later the patient have concieved intrauterin pregnancy.
