Diagnosis of molar pregnancy and persistent trophoblastic disease by flow cytometry.
Histopathological assessment and flow cytometric analyses were carried out on 32 placentas (representative of each trimester) and 88 molar pregnancies. Three first trimester placentas were triploid, and the remaining 29 placentas were diploid. Of the 88 cases originally diagnosed as molar pregnancies, 26 were triploid (two complete moles, 20 partial moles, and four hydropic abortions); 59 were ...
متن کاملDiagnosis of platelet-type von Willebrand disease by flow cytometry.
Platelet-type von Willebrand disease (PT-VWD) is a rare autosomal dominant bleeding disorder which is due to a mutation in the gene encoding for platelet glycoprotein Ibalpha (GPIbalpha) resulting in enhanced affinity for von Willebrand factor (VWF). PT-VWD is often mistakenly diagnosed as type 2B VWD for the similarities between these two conditions. We characterized a new case of PT-VWD and e...
متن کاملPresentation and management of molar pregnancy and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in Latin America 1 13 PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT OF MOLAR PREGNANCY AND GESTATIONAL TROPHOBLASTIC NEOPLASIA IN LATIN AMERICA
Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD) in Latin America (LA) has a wide range of presentation and management, depending on socioeconomic, political and geographic variables [1,2,3]. Thus, while some referral centers have sophisticated methods for an early and accurate diagnosis and treatment, still there are a high number of patients admitted with a late Hydatidiform Mole (HM) or advanced Gest...
متن کاملPersistent gestational trophoblastic disease: DNA image cytometry and interphase cytogenetics have limited predictive value.
DNA flow cytometry has shown a wider spectrum of DNA content in the complete hydatidiform mole (CM) than the originally reported diploidy. Conflicting results have been published about the relationship of DNA content and the occurrence of persistent gestational trophoblastic disease (PGTD). In the present study, 71 cases of CM and 4 cases of partial mole accompanied by PGTD and 100 cases of CM ...
متن کاملQualitative and quantitative analysis of diffusion-weighted imaging of gestational trophoblastic disease: Can it predict progression of molar pregnancy to persistent form of disease?
PURPOSE To describe the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) appearance of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) and to determine its apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. To evaluate the feasibility of DWI to predict progression of hydatidiform mole (HM) to persistent disease. METHODS During a period of 6 months, women with preliminary diagnosis of GTD, based on ultrasound and ßhCG leve...
