description • We present two cases of postmolar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). • Both cases presented with lung metastases after hydatidiform mole. • Both cases showed spontaneous regression without treatment. • The mechanism behind this phenomenon remains unclear. • Patients with postmolar GTN and declining hCG values may not need chemotherapy.
