What is Understanding Hydatidiform Moles and GTD about?
Hydatidiform moles are abnormal pregnancies characterized by cystic swelling of the chorionic villi and trophoblastic proliferation. Complete moles have a paternal chromosomal makeup and partial moles are triploid. Moles can develop invasively or into gestational choriocarcinoma, a highly metastatic tumor. Distinguishing moles from other placental abnormalities and non-molar pregnancies can be challenging due to variable trophoblastic proliferation. Serum hCG monitoring is important but can have pitfalls.
