OBJECTIVE To investigate the slope of linear regression of postevacuation serum hCG as an independent risk factor for postmolar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). DESIGN Multicenter retrospective cohort study. SETTING Academic referral health care centers. PATIENT(S) All subjects with confirmed hydatidiform mole and at least four measurements of β-hCG titer. INTERVENTION(S) None...

Gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD) are a heterogenous group of disorders that arise from trophoblastic epithelium. They can follow molar pregnancy (50%), abortions (25%), normal pregnancy (22.5%), and ectopic pregnancy (2.5%) [Robert JK, Lora HE, Brigitte MR (ed) Blaustein Pathology of the Female Genital Tract 6th edn (Springer) pp. 1101-7]. Occurrence of choriocarcinoma following normal ...

Twin pregnancy consisting of complete molar pregnancy and a coexisting fetus occurs with an estimated incidence of 1 per 22,000–100,000 pregnancies, and may be increasing due to the greater use of assisted reproductive techniques [1]. These pregnancies are associated with significant maternal and fetal complications including preeclampsia, thromboembolic disease, hyperemesis, hemorrhage, intrau...

We hereby report a case of quadruplet pregnancy with delivery of 3 viable infants and a complete mole. This was an induced conception with clomiphene citrate. At 22 weeks, cystic structures were noticed in one of the placentae and a suspicion of co-existant molar pregnancy was made. The case discussed with oncologist and pregnancy was continued with close monitoring of β-hCG and Ultras...
