BACKGROUND: A subset of women with persistent low levels of ß-hCG have undergone potentially harmful treatments despite no evidence of pregnancy or gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. CASE: A 37-year-old woman with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss presented with persistent low levels of ß-hCG. She was treated for ectopic pregnancy and retained products and was later suspected of having a malignancy. However, further evaluation of her human chorionic gonadotropin led to a diagnosis of quiescent gestational trophoblastic disease. CONCLUSION: A diagnosis of quiescent gestational trophoblastic disease should be considered in all patients who present with persistent low levels of ß-hCG, including those with recurrent pregnancy loss.
