Placenta percreta in week 10 of pregnancy with consecutive hysterectomy: case report.

Placenta percreta in early pregnancy is rare and has been documented in only a few cases. We report on a patient with abdominal pain in week 10 of pregnancy. Sonography revealed a defective embryonic development and the absence of a border line between trophoblast and myometrium, as well as invasive growth in the region of isthmocervical transition, so curettage was performed. Heavy bleeding at this stage made a hysterectomy necessary. Histological examination revealed a placenta percreta. Because of possible complications, the therapy of choice for a placenta percreta is a hysterectomy, as was performed in this case.
