Familial recurrent molar pregnancy is an exceedingly rare condition, in which complete hydatidiform moles are mostly diploid but biparental in origin and the outcome of subsequent pregnancies is likely to be a hydatidiform mole or other type of reproductive loss. We previously reported a case of familial molar pregnancy (family K) comprising five affected members (four sisters and one of their ...

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...

Coexistence of a viable fetus with a hydatidiform mole is a rare condition and the diagnosis is very important because of the risk of developing severe complications in pregnancy. The management of these pregnancies is optional, although accurate and great care is required to find early signs of maternal or fetal complications.Hereby we report a case of dizygotic twin pregnancy with a complete ...

Hydatidiform moles are abnormal gestations characterized by the presence of hydropic changes affecting some or all of the placental villi. Hydatidiform moles arise as a result of the fertilization of an abnormal ovum. In this report, the patient was a 29 year old Asian woman who had induction of ovulation with letrozol. Since the majority of molar gestations arise within the uterine cavity thus...

THERE SEEMS to be a great deal of confusion in the literature, due to the various terms used to describe these neoplasms. Malignant hydatidiform mole has been called destructive placental mole, invasive mole and chorio-adenoma destruens. Chorio-epithelioma has been referred to as chorioma or as chorio-carcinoma. In order to try to lessen the confusion the following comparative summary has been ...
