52Molar pregnancy
- High HCG, Large uterus.
- PV Bleeding.
- PARTIAL MOLE
- Where part of placenta overgrows (proliferates).
May be developing fetus present, but is
genetically abnormal and cannot survive outside
the womb. Two sperm enter egg and instead of
forming twins forms an abnormal foetus. Triploid.
53Molar pregnancy
- COMPLETE MOLE
- Whole placenta is abnormal and grows rapidly. No
developing fetus. One sperm enters the egg but
only half of one set of chromosomes are present.
Aneuploid.
54Diagnosed on USS

55Management
- Surgical evac
- Products sent to lab for conformation.

- TROPHOBLASTIC DISEASE
- Part of the mole remains in any part of the body
despite initial treatment -can grow quickly. - CHORIOCARCINOMA

malignant. Can arise from a molar pregnancy. Can
spread throughout the body, usually to lungs,
liver and brain. Treatment is chemotherapy.
