“…4 Direct vascular invasion and metastasis rarely occurs in invasive moles, the most common site reported is the lung. 5,6 The more dreaded complication of lung infiltration by the trophoblastic tissue was however not seen in this patient but there was a 15-20% chance of lung involvement, which either regress completely after evacuation or responds to chemotherapy single or multiple agents. 7 …”

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasms include the tumour spectrum of hydatidiform mole (complete and partial), invasive mole, (chorioadenoma destruens), placental site trophoblastic tumour and choriocarcinoma. Here a case is reported as invasive hydatidiform mole presenting as an acute haemoperitoneum. The patient presented with acute abdominal pain and signs of haemoperitoneum. Emergency laparatomy releaved a perforating molar pregnancy, resulting in massive haemoperitoneum. Total hysterectomy was done, 5 units blood were transfused. Serum _HCG levels regress quickly and spontaneously.Mediscope Vol. 4, No. 1: Jan 2017, Page 38-39

“…2 Direct vascular invasion and metastasis rarely occurs in invasive moles, the most common site reported is the lung. 3,4 The diagnosis of invasive mole is made by the demonstration of molar tissues invading the myometrium or the presence of villi in the metastatic lesion. Myometrial invasion is difficult to document onpelvic ultrasound and also in uterine curettage unless thereis a sufficient myometrium to demonstrate the invasion.…”

“…Invasive mole may perforate through the whole thickness of the myometrium resulting in uterine perforation and intraperitoneal bleeding (3) . Distant metastasis also rarely occurs in invasive moles, the most common site involved is the lung (4,5) . Uterine evacuation and curettage is the treatment of choice in most of the cases but in some rare cases with intractable bleeding, hysterectomy may be required.…”
