background: differential diagnosis between complete hydatidiform mole, partial hydatidiform mole and hydropic abortion, known as hydropic placentas is still a challenge for pathologists but it is very important for patient management. objective: we analyzed the nuclear dna content of various types of hydropic placentas by flowcytometry. materials and methods: dna ploidy analysis was performed i...

tubal pregnancies are common but presence of hydatidiform mole in tube is a rare entity. a woman of 53years presented with acute abdomen, preoperative pregnancy test was positive and ultrasonography suspected the case as hydatidiform mole in right tube. the patient was treated with total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy as her family was completed. subsequent histopat...

A complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) is a conceptus with only sperm-derived chromosomes. Here, we report on CHM genomic DNA identical to that of the paternal somatic cells. The developed in woman who had undergone intrauterine implantation blastocyst obtained through vitro injection presumed round spermatid into one her oocytes. was genetically peripheral white cells husband and contained no mate...

Gestational trophoblastic disease includes hydatidiform mole (complete and partial) and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor). The epidemiology, pathology, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of each of these trophoblastic disease variants are discussed. Particular emphasis is given to manag...

BACKGROUND: The aim of this population-based retrospective study was to evaluate the trend in the incidence of molar pregnancy. METHODS: Questionnaires about the occurrence of hydatidiform mole were mailed to all clinics and hospitals in Chiba Prefecture between 1974 and 2000. The diagnosis of hydatidiform mole was based on the post-operative morphological and/or pathological ®ndings. Data of l...

INTRODUCTION Complete Hydatidiform mole is one of the most frequent abnormal pregnancies. This review studies the trend of complete mole in Paropakar Maternity and Women's hospital and clinical ability to detect it. METHODS This is a retrospective study of 504 cases of complete hydatidiform mole recorded at Paropakar maternity and women's hospital, Kathmandu, during 2058-2065 B.S. Medical rec...

BACKGROUND It may be difficult to differentiate the consecutive occurrence of two independent molar pregnancies from gestational trophoblastic neoplasia after the initial molar pregnancy, especially when the interval between them is short. CASE A 25-year-woman who had had a complete hydatidiform mole 6 months earlier presented with a 6-week history of secondary amenorrhea. Serum human chorion...

Treatment of six cases of missed abortion and one case of hydatidiform mole with intravenous infusion of prostaglandin E(2) resulted in complete abortion in all cases. Of 15 patients with missed labour, 14 were delivered successfully with similar treatment. The technique appears to be a safe, reliable, and rapid method of managing missed abortion, missed labour, and hydatidiform mole.
