Partial hydatidiform mole

Discussion:

Ultrasound is the standard imaging modality for identifying molar pregnancy.

Classically, a 'snowstorm pattern' is resulting from the presence of a complex vesicular intrauterine mass containing many 'grape-like' cysts.

Adding the result of laboratory Studies and in this case, BHCG was 225,000 mIU/mL( BHCG levels greater than 100,000 mIU/mL indicate exuberant trophoblastic growth and raise also the suspicion for a molar pregnancy). Also, dilatation and curettage has been done for our case and the diagnosis confirmed.

Hydatidiform moles should be regarded as premalignant lesions because 15-20% of complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) and 1% of partial hydatidiform moles (PHMs) undergo malignant transformation into invasive moles and choriocarcinomas.
