Benign hydatidiform mole

A benign hydatidiform mole, also known as a molar pregnancy, is a noninvasive gestational trophoblastic disease arising from aberrantly fertilized ovular tissue in pregnant females It affects the placenta and uterine cavity, manifesting either as a complete mole without fetal tissue or a partial mole with coexisting, typically nonviable embryonic components Pathophysiologically, the condition is driven by excessive paternal genetic material that causes hydropic swelling of chorionic villi, diffu...

A benign hydatidiform mole, also known as a molar pregnancy, is a noninvasive gestational trophoblastic disease arising from aberrantly fertilized ovular tissue in pregnant females Pathophysiologically, the condition is driven by excessive paternal genetic material that causes hydropic swelling of chorionic villi, diffuse or focal trophoblastic hyperplasia, and hypersecretion of human chorionic gonadotropin

It affects the placenta and uterine cavity, manifesting either as a complete mole without fetal tissue or a partial mole with coexisting, typically nonviable embryonic components Clinically, it frequently presents with first-trimester vaginal bleeding, uterine enlargement disproportionate to gestational age, hyperemesis gravidarum, or characteristic vesicular patterns on pelvic ultrasound
