“…From the search, we found 4 reported cases; however, none of the reported cases had the number of recurrence as high as our patient (Table 1). [9][10][11][12] The pathophysiology of HM is related to abnormality of trophoblastic proliferation in the formation of the placenta. However, there is no definitive cause of this abnormality of trophoblastic proliferation.…”

Hydatidiform mole (HM) is an aberrant pregnancy characterized by atypical trophoblastic hyperplasia, hydropic chorionic villi, and deprived fetal development. There are two types of HM, ie, complete (CHM) and partial (PHM). Both CHM and PHM can recur; however, the recurrence of PHM is very scarce compared to CHM. In this report, we present a case of a 33-year-old woman with recurrent PHM for 7 times without any normal pregnancy in-between. PHM was determined by histology examination. The patient underwent suction curettage and was followed up with serial β-hCG levels. Recurrent PHM, although rare, is associated with an increased incidence of malignancy. A series of clinical and β-hCG evaluation should be warranted because of the possibility of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia development.
