Coriocarcinoma, Corioepitelioma ou Neoplasia trofoblástica gestacional é um câncer de células germinais, de rápido crescimento, que geralmente se forma no útero durante a gravidez. As células que deveriam formar a placenta fazem uma transformação maligna, com ampla revascularização que permite rapidamente fazer metástases para os pulmões e/ou fígado pelo sangue. Também existe coriocarcinomas em ovários ou testículos, mas são mais raros.
