Abstract

Gestational trophoblastic disease spectrum ranges from benign hydatidiform mole to trophoblastic malignancy (placental site trophoblastic tumor and choriocarcinoma). Benign gestational trophoblastic disease occurs in women of reproductive age and is extremely rare in postmenopausal women. We describe a case of complete vesicular mole in a 55-year-old postmenopausal woman complaining of postmenopausal bleeding. To our knowledge, our case represents one of the rare descriptions in the world literature of a benign complete hydatidiform mole in a postmenopausal woman.
