Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) represents a spectrum of lesions characterised by an abnormal proliferation of trophoblast, including complete hydatidiform mole, partial hydatidiform mole, invasive hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumour, epithelioid trophoblastic tumour, placental site nodule and plaque, and exaggerated placental site reaction. Complete ...

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...

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...

a case report of the relatively rare condition of a primary hydatidiform mole in the fallopian tube is presented. key words; hydatidiform mole fallopian tube.

normal 0 false false false microsoftinternetexplorer4 background : despite well-described histopathologic criteria, the distinction of spontaneous abortion from hydatidiform mole and complete hydatidiform mole from partial hydatidiform mole remains a problem because of interobserver and intraobserver variability. the aim of this study was to evaluate the value of two immunohistochemical markers...

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...

Presentation of hydatidiform mole as tubal ectopic pregnancy is very rare. These patients usually present with ectopic pregnancy and are later diagnosed with hydatidiform mole on the basis of histological examination following surgery. We present the case of a 32-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and vaginal bleed since 2 days of presentation. She was vitally stable. There was m...
