Mola invasiva--special form of GTD

Gen Physiol Biophys. 1999 Dec:18 Suppl 1:37-41.

Abstract

Invasive hydatidiform mole is a relative rare form of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). Most of hydatidiform moles remit after evacuation but some of them have the tendency to invade the myometrium. In some rare cases the trophoblastic tissue can be found in other tissues like lungs, vulva, vagina or broad ligament. The aim of the study was to demonstrate some of clinical, immunohistochemical and DNA analysis findings of a patient with a previous diagnosis of a complete hydatidiform mole.
