Definition
GTD is a diverse group of interrelated diseases
resulting in the abnormal proliferation of
trophoblastic (placental) tissue.
These also share the ability to produce human
chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)

4.Diagnosis
Partial mole
-- Fetal heart sounds may be present because there is a
coexistent fetus,intrauterine growth restriction
HCG measurement:
--hCG levels is necessary for
diagnosis , treatment , and
follow up in all cases of
trophoblastic disease.
--In the presence of a molar
pregnancy, quantitative
serum hCG levels can be
extremely high. (100,000
mIU/mL),will decline to
normal within 14 weeks
following evacuation.
5.Differential diagnosis
Abortion
Multiple pregnancy
Polyhydramnios
6. Treatment
A. emptying uterine cavity:
Suction curettage (D&C):
Dilate the cervix Sufficient
Intravenous oxytocin should be given after a moderate amount
B. Prophylactic chemotherapy
It is not Conventional treatment ,not recommoned .only
recommend for complete mole with high-risk factors and cannot
follow-up.
C. Surgery
hysterectomy, can not avoid metastasis.
