OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the role ultrasound in detection early pregnancies presenting with placental molar changes. METHODOLOGY This retrospective carried out at Radiology department Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, between Aug 2020 and July 2021. All cases suspected changes were evaluated from 10-14 weeks gestation. patient referred our because fetal abnor...

BACKGROUND Invasive mole is responsible for most cases of localized gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Gestational trophoblastic disease describes a number of gynecologic tumors that originate in trophoblastic layer including hydatidiform mole (complete or partial), invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor and epitheloid trophoblastic tumor. Invasive mole may arise f...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of maternal serum markers in the early prenatal diagnosis of molar pregnancies. The ultrasound features, cytogenetic and histopathological findings of 10 cases of molar pregnancy diagnosed at 11-13 weeks of gestation were compared retrospectively with the maternal serum concentrations of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), alpha fetoprotein ...

A 26-year-old parous woman presented with profuse vaginal bleeding. Obstetric history was P1L1A4, first pregnancy was terminated for molar pregnancy, second pregnancy was a term delivery by LSCS after 3 years, third and fourth pregnancies were unconfirmed abortions, fifth pregnancy was incomplete abortion at 8 week’s gestation, underwent D&E elsewhere, following which she had persistent vaginal...

placental site trophoblastic tumor (pstt) is a very rare variant of gestational trophoblastic tumor. it can occur after normal termination of pregnancy or spontaneous abortion and ectopic or molar pregnancy. there is a wide range of clinical manifestations from a benign condition to an aggressive disease with fatal outcome. one of the most important characteristics of pstt, unlike other forms o...

Recurrent hydatidiform mole is defined as episodes of two molar pregnancies in a female. Often, complete moles onlyderive androgenic nuclear genome. We described two cases with repeated molar pregnancies attempted to preventfuture episodes by performing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)to assess genetic disorders. The first pat...
