Molar Pregnancy Presents as Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy
Journal Title: Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (MJMS) - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Gestational trophoblastic disease is a spectrum of trophoblastic diseases that includes: Complete molar pregnancy (CMP), partial molar pregnancies (PMP), invasive mole (IM), chorioncarcinoma (CHC), and placental site trophoblastic tumors (PSTT). 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 an abnormal fertilization. In this report, the patient was a 28 year old Albanian woman who had induction of ovulation with Clomid. The majority of molar gestations arise within the uterine cavity. The occurrence of a hydatidiform mole within ectopic gestational tissue is rare. It is important to differentiate a hydatidiform mole from an ectopic pregnancy, particularly in infertile women who have a history of ovulation induction.
