Molar Pregnancy (Hydatidiform Moles) and Choriocarcinoma — Symptoms and Treatments

چکیده
During pregnancy, it is possible for the tissue surrounding the embryo to degenerate. Such degeneration typically manifests itself in hydatidiform moles and choriocarcinoma. These tumors are difficult to diagnose and are associated with an increased level of beta hCG. Treatment involves the complete removal of the tumorous growth. The characteristics of the tumors are described in more detail below.
