Abstract :

Introduction: Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a group of conditions that arise from trophoblastic tissue after fertilization. Published literature on GTD from the Indian subcontinent is minimal. Hence there is a need to evaluate the risk factors, complications, management, outcome of the condition.

Methods:It is a retrospective study of GTD managed at our hospital from April 2015 to October 2016.

Results: The incidence was 0.27%. 7 were complete, 3 partial, 2 invasive moles, 1 PSTT and 1 choriocarcinoma. Age group of presentation ranged from 20-36 years. 28.57% primigravidae, 35.7% presented in first trimester. 10 had vaginal bleeding, 4 were detected incidentally. 4 cases had vomiting and 3, pain abdomen. Anaemia, theca lutein cysts, hyperthyroidism, hypertension and mortality were reported. Treatment options were surgical and medical.

Conclusion: GTD has a rising incidence. With the use of better diagnostic modalities, the condition can be detected early and treated appropriately.
