“…Hay consenso en la literatura acerca de la eficiencia y seguridad del legrado uterino por aspiración en aquellas pacientes en quienes se desea conservar la fecundidad (5,7,14,16,17). En nuestro hospital al no disponer del equipo necesario para este procedimiento, el método más utilizado fue el legrado instrumental (76.8%).…”

SUMMARYIn order to assess clinical and epidemiological aspects, we reviewed 113 clinical records of patients with Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) treated at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia between January 1981 and December 1990. The frequency observed was 2.33 cases of GTD per 1000 pregnancies. The rate was significatively higher than the average in women older than 40 years (22.09 per 1000 deliveries). Vaginal bleeding was the most frequent clinical symptom (90.26%), followed by uterus larger than expected for gestational age (39.82%) and hyperemesis gravidarum (29.20%). Dilatation and curettage was the only surgical treatment used in 76.80% of patients. Three cases of choriocarcinoma were identified, 17 patients showed persistent trophoblastic activity in the post-evacuation follow-up, and in 5 cases radiologic images suspected of pulmonary metastases were evidenced. We found no association between the prognostic factors mentioned in the literature and the persistent trophoblastic activity in these patients. (Rev Med Hered 1994; 5: 180-186).

“…THERE are wide variations in the reported incidence of hydatidiform moles from different geographical areas, higher frequencies being recorded in oriental developing countries than in Europe and North America (Llewellyn-Jones, 1965;McCorrison, 1968;Yen and McMahon, 1968;Aguero et al, 1973). Novak and Woodruff (1974) and Hertig and Mansell (1956) give a figure of 1 in 2000 to 2500 gestations in the USA, and for Norway, Kolstad and Hognestad (1965) quote an incidence of 1 in 1300 births, and for Holland the figure is 1 in 1200 (de Snoo, 1946).…”

“…4 In Venezuela, the frequency also varies depending on the region, being 1 per 423 pregnancies in San Cristobal 5 and 1 per 1066 in the Caracas University Hospital. 6 Palacios Concepción Maternity reports that one in every approximately 40 moles will lead to choriocarcinoma, 7 while this only occurs in one in 150,000 normal pregnancies. 8 A scanning electron microscopy study of the molar villi showed that, during normal development of the villus in pregnancy, the basement membrane tends to thicken and become impermeable, not allowing the passage of substances through the basement membrane found in normal villi.…”
