Partial molar pregnancy results from fertilization of a haploid ovum by two sperms or duplication of one sperm, resulting in a triploid karyotype. The coexistence of partial mole with normal fetus karyotype is rare and occurs in 0.005-0.01% of all pregnancies. It is considered a challenging diagnosis. Here, we report a case of a 38-year-old primigravida diagnosed indecently at 16 weeks of gestation. She was on regular antenatal care and had partial molar pregnancy with a female fetus with diploid karyotype and no apparent malformation. This pregnancy ended with intrauterine fetal death. Histological examination of the placenta showed partial hydatidiform mole changes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
