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...

Hydatiform mole belongs to a group of diseases classified as gestational trophoblastic disease,that results from an impaired fertilization.Moles have been divided into complete or partial moles on the basis distinctive histopathological features and genetic abnormalities.Partial molar pregnancy with coexisting fetus is rare complication incidence 0.005%-0.01% all pregnancies.It usually derives ...

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) includes the abnormal pregnancies complete (CHM) and partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) and the malignant gestational trophoblastic tumours (GTT) invasive mole (IM), choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) and epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (ETT). While many genetic studies have been performed in both CHM and PHM, similar studies of t...

The reported incidence of gestational trophoblastic disease is 1-2:1000 pregnancies. The disease includes a) hydatidiform mole (partial and complete), b) invasive mole, c) choriocarcinoma and d) placental site trophoblastic tumors. Current management is based on several prognostic risk factors. We describe an interesting case of a 51-year–old woman who presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding a...

Serum levels for beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) and pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein (SP1) in patients with trophoblastic disease were measured by radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The beta-hCG:SP1 ratios were below 1.0 in all 22 cases of complete hydatidiform mole and in 8 of 9 cases of partial hydatidiform mole. Two (10.5%) of 19 cases of invasive mol...

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a spectrum of cellular proliferations arising from the placental villous trophoblasts encompassing four main clinicopathologic forms : hydatidiform mole (complete and partial), invasive mole, choriocarcinoma and placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT). Placental site trophoblasic tumours (PSTT) are rare and usually diagnosed after dilatation and cure...

The present case study is on a 16-year-old woman who was suffering from nephrotic syndrome after recovery from complete type of hydatiform mole. She was admitted in hospital because of proteinurea and hematuria. Then she was showing a generalized edema compatible with neprhotic syndrome. In her past medical history she had a suction curettage for hydatiform mole. After she received 4 courses ch...
