“…In partial molar pregnancies usually ultrasound imaging shows honeycomb-like echo in the placenta; the borders between the normal placental tissue and the honeycomb echo are not clear, and most fetuses are dead or malformed (11). In a case report by Hossain et al, the fetus could not continue to live on for more than 21 weeks and the pregnancy ended up with intra-uterine fetal death (12). Still, there have been cases, e.g.…”

Multiple placental cysts are a common finding in obstetric ultrasound imaging. Although it has benign differential diagnoses such as hydropic degeneration of the placenta or placental mesenchymal dysplasia, its important pathologies such as benign gestational trophoblastic disease or hydatiform mole should always be considered. A challenging issue in obstetrics is pregnancies with a placenta that has a bipartite texture. This means that one side of the placenta is normal, but the other side is full of cystic formation and just one fetus is visualized. The main critical concern is the presence of molar pregnancy because of its catastrophic consequences. Here we report a rare case in which the gravid uterus had a normal diploid fetus but had a bipartite placenta which was triploid in the hydropic part, revealing a unique genetic pattern.

“…The optimum technique to address a hydatidiform mole with a coexisting live fetus is uncertain. Clinicians are asked to share their unique experiences so that recommendations for the care and prenatal counseling of pregnancies with partial mole and coexistent fetuses can be generated 7 …”

“…Definitive diagnosis is done by cytogenetic analysis via amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. 7 The majority of partial hydatidiform moles that coexist with fetal tissue or an abnormal fetus are caused due to dispermy and have a triploid karyotype. However karyotyping was not done in our case.…”

Key Clinical MessageTimely prenatal diagnosis, regular checkups, and comprehensive counseling are vital in preventing and managing complications in high‐risk pregnancies like partial molar pregnancy with hydrops fetalis.AbstractA live singleton fetus with partial molar pregnancy is a rare condition. We report a case of partial mole with hydrops fetalis causing intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) in the third trimester. Our case involves a 20‐year primigravid without prior antenatal checkups who presented to outpatient department at 31 weeks and 5 days of gestation with lower abdominal pain, backache, vaginal spotting, and decreased fetal movement. Ultrasound revealed partial mole, hydrops fetalis, and IUFD. The patient underwent induced delivery expelling a 1900 gm female fetus with no viability and a placenta containing 650 gm of molar tissue. Placental tissue with cystic component was confirmed as molar tissue by histopathological examination. She was discharged a few days afterward and had undetectable beta‐human chorionic gonadotropin levels after a month. Prenatal diagnosis, counseling, rigorous antepartum surveillance, and appropriate postpartum follow‐up are essential for the best possible mother and fetal outcomes.
