Gestational Trophoblastic Disease is a spectrum of disorders characterized by abnormal trophoblastic proliferation, subclassified into hydatidiform mole (complete and partial) and potentially fatal trophoblastic neoplasms with high metastatic potential, such as invasive mole, choriocarcinoma and trophoblastic tumors. Choriocarcinoma is the most common neoplasm secondary to hydatidiform mole, with a high incidence of lung metastasis, whose initial manifestation is hemoptysis. On the other hand, hydatidiform mole originates from villous trophoblasts and is considered a pre-neoplastic condition, whose clinical picture includes vaginal bleeding, hyperemesis and uterine enlargement, with complications such as preeclampsia, anemia and dyspnea. Objective: To analyze cases regarding Gestational Trophoblastic Disease and its complications. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review, of a quantitative nature, whose articles were selected from PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO) and Cochrane Library databases, in English. The choice of articles was performed by reading the title, abstract and, finally, reading the article in its entirety, with a careful analysis of the articles based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Final considerations: It is concluded that gestational choriocarcinoma is the most common gestational trophoblastic neoplasm, often secondary to hydatidiform mole, and its main metastatic target is the lung parenchyma, the main clinical manifestation being hemoptysis. There is a tendency to increase blood pressure in pregnant women with hydatidiform mole, which can lead to preeclampsia. Thus, it is possible for the fetus to have intrauterine growth restriction, requiring histopathological examination in all cases.
