Dr. Akhtar Un Nisa Salaria

Abstract :

BACKGROUND: H Mole is a part of generic term, Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). This term describes a spectrum of abnormal trophoblastic proliferation associated with villous enlargement or neoplasm without villi (choriocarcinoma). Hydatidiform mole is an abnormal gestation characterized by trophoblastic hyperplasia and overgrowth of placental villi. H. Mole is classified as a complete mole (CHM) and a partial mole (PHM). The diagnosis is based on histopathology and genetic origin. In our setup we used only histopathological diagnostic criteria. Materials And Methods : A retrospective study for a period of two years from January 2017 to December 2018 was conducted in the Department of Pathology and case records of all molar pregnancies during the study period were analyzed regarding patient’s history, clinical presentation, and morphologic features. RESULTS: A total of 28 cases were examined during the study period which included 20 cases of complete mole and seven cases of partial mole. one case was labeled as a case of complete mole with atypical trophoblastic proliferation. Frequency of complete mole is higher as compared to partial mole. The disease was common in extremes of ages. A number of histopathological diagnostic criterias are used to distinguish between CHM and PHM. It was inferred that there is no single criterion to differentiate CHM from PHM.
