Abstract
|
|
|
|
Hydatidiform mole with a coexisting fetus is rare, but this condition has recently shown an increased incidence because of assisted reproduction technology. In most of the reported cases, termination at diagnosis was preferred due to poor fetal survival and maternal risk factors such as vaginal bleeding, preeclampsia, hyperthyroidism, potential of malignant change. However, considering the value of pregnancy by assisted reproduction technology, whether to continue or to terminate this condition is a dilemma. Based on currently available information, it seems that it is reasonable to allow the pregnancy to continue in the absence of maternal complications. We report on a case of the complete hydatidiform mole with two coexisting fetuses with a brief reviews of the literature.
