Medical Literature Writing With ChatGPT: A Rare Case of Choriocarcinoma Syndrome With Hemorrhagic Brain Metastases Due to Burned Out Metastatic Mixed Testicular Cancer

Testicular tumors are one of the most commonly observed malignancies among men. An aggressive and rare subtype of the disease, testicular choriocarcinoma, has a worse prognosis due to the tendency of early hematogenous spread to multiple organs and advanced symptoms at presentation time.

description Testicular tumors are one of the most commonly observed malignancies among men. An aggressive and rare subtype of the disease, testicular choriocarcinoma, has a worse prognosis due to the tendency of early hematogenous spread to multiple organs and advanced symptoms at presentation time. Characteristic features of choriocarcinoma include elevated beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) in a young male with testicular mass. However, when the primary testicular tumor overutilizes its blood supply and spontaneously regresses, it is presumed to have been "burnt out" with remnants evident by metastatic retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, scarred tissue, and calcifications. Treatment of advanced testicular cancer may be complicated by a rare entity known as choriocarcinoma syndrome, distinguished by rapid and fatal hemorrhaging of metastatic tumor sites. Prior described cases of choriocarcinoma syndrome involve pulmonary and gastrointestinal hemorrhages. We present an uncommon case of a 34-year-old male with a "burnt out" metastatic mixed testicular cancer who presented with choriocarcinoma syndrome (CS) treated with chemotherapy but developed deadly hemorrhaging of brain metastases. In addition, with the assistance of ChatGPT, we report our experience with this OpenAI tool and its potential uses in medical literature writing.
