Several potential etiologic risk factors have been evaluated for the development of complete hydatidiform mole. The two established risk factors that have emerged are extremes of maternal age and prior molar pregnancy. Advanced or very young maternal age has consistently correlated with higher rates of complete hydatidiform mole. Compared to women aged 21- 35 years, the risk of a complete mole is 1.9 times higher for women both more than 35 years and less than 21 years as well as 7.5 times higher for women more than 40 years. (49, 50) The risk of repeat molar pregnancy after 1 mole is about 1% or about 10-20 times the risk for the general population. The present study on the gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) was carried out as it is one of the fascinating gynaecological tumours. Hence a clinicopathological study of gestational trophoblastic disease was undertaken with relevance to the histopathological study of GTD and clinical correlation.
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.
