Background Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) defines a heterogenenous group of interrelated lesions that arise from the trophoblastic epithelium of the placenta. There are several histologically distinct types of GTD: hydatiform mole (complete or partial), persistant/invasive gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN), choriocarcinoma and placenta site trophoblastic tumors. The aim of this...

Molar pregnancy is an abnormal growth of trophoblastic tissue in the uterus. It can be either complete or partial. In moles, development fetus absent, while partial moles contain gestational sac. Choriocarcinoma a malignant form that arise from molar tissue. Hydatiform mole and choriocarcinoma are rare complicated diseases with numerous pathological conditions lead to significant kidney damage....

asymptomatic and there is a delay in diagnosis most of the time. During management of invasive hydatiform mole, ureteral obstruction should be kept in mind. In the case of large, bulky tumors extending into the parametrium, the possibility of ureteral compression should be kept in mind and excluded by appropriate imaging techniques to prevent loss of renal function due to a complication of a cu...

introduction: this study was performed to establish a complementary method to the diagnosis of complete hydatidiform mole and its differentiation from the other cases of gestational trophoblastic disease by measuring the total (alp) and placental alkaline phosphatase (plap) specific activity. materials and methods: serum and tissue extracts from 13 patients, 13 normal non-pregnant and 30 pregna...

Hydatidiform mole (often referred to as molar pregnancy) is the most common disorder in a category of pathologies known as Gestational Trophoblastic Diseases that are associated with abnormal fertilization in pregnancy. Current practices in screening and monitoring during early pregnancy allow for better identification of hydatidiform mole, sometimes prior to the onset of significant symptoms.O...
