Gestational trophoblastic disease encompasses several entities like complete mole, partial mole, invasive mole, gestational trophoblastic carcinoma and trophoblastic carcinoma from implantation site. These entities are different from each other by their origin, morphology, their evolution and their treatment. Among all components, partial mole is very common (90%) and triploid genetically. This is one of the important causative factors of miscarriages. Very rarely (2-4%) partial mole can develop into invasive one presenting with features of incomplete abortion, missed abortion and sometimes as obstetric emergencies like intraperitoneal hemorrhage and torrential vaginal bleeding. So, proper diagnosis and timely intervention can prevent mortality and reduce morbidity of the patients. Here we report two such cases of partial invasive molar pregnancies with varied picture.
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.
