“…The earlier prevalent view was to let the pregnancy progress to delivery, despite the supposed increased risk of complications such as conversion into GTN, Preeclampsia, high likelihood of abortion, Thyrotoxicosis, vaginal bleeding, etc [6]. Only 40 % of these pregnancies result in live baby, with others normally aborting by the second trimester [7]. Since the fetus is viable and many of these patients have conceived late in age after many IVF attempts, the pregnancy is extremely precious.…”

Medical termination of a partial hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus during the second trimester: A case report

Abstract. Partial hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus (PHMCF) is a rare condition that presents a dilemma for physicians and the parents of the fetus, particularly when PHMCF is detected during the second trimester of pregnancy. The present study reports a case of PHMCF terminated by induction of labor via administration of Rivanol at 17 weeks. Follow-up measurements of serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) levels, as well as imaging studies, indicated the presence of persistent trophoblastic disease (PTD) and lung metastases. The patient was therefore admitted for three courses of chemotherapy. Subsequently, the metastases receded and β-HCG levels decreased to within the normal range. The patient demonstrated no disease recurrence for 1 year. Following a review of the relevant literature, to the best of our knowledge, all PHMCF cases terminated by medical induction of labor during the second trimester resulted in the development of PTD and lung metastases. However, three cases of PHMCF that were terminated by caesarean section during the third trimester did not develop PTD or metastases. The present study therefore hypothesized that medical termination may not be a safe therapeutic strategy for the treatment of PHMCF during the second trimester, and that pregnancy should be allowed to continue empirically.
