 | | Twin pregnancy with mole and viable fetus as two separate conceptuses is observed less often (about 1 in 200) in molar pregnancies than twin viable fetuses occur in normal pregnancies (about 1 in 110). | | | A twin pregnancy consisting of a complete hydatidiform mole and a coexisting normal fetus is estimated to occur once in every 22,000 to100,000 pregnancies. | | | The outcome of twin pregnancies of CHM and coexisting foetus and a review of the previous literature was reported in 1994 by Steller et al (1). |

| | Molar Pregnancy -- Ashley Hill, MD |
| | The formal medical term for a molar pregnancy is “hydatidiform mole.” Simply put, a molar pregnancy is an abnormality of the placenta (afterbirth), caused by a problem when the egg and sperm join together at fertilization. | | | Molar pregnancies are an uncommon and very frightening complication of pregnancy. | | | After evacuating a molar pregnancy it is critically important that the patient see her doctor frequently, as molar pregnancies can recur. |

| | molar pregnancy |
| | Molar pregnancy is a clinical problem not only because it produces an abnormal pregnancy which in most cases needs to be terminated but also because of its ability to have residual disease and, in severe cases, result in metastasis. | | | Once the diagnosis of a molar pregnancy or a non viable pregnancy suspicious for a partial mole is made, evacuation of the uterus is recommended with termination of the pregnancy. | | | Molar pregnancy, or hydatidiform mole, is a pregnancy which has defective growth patterns. |

| | Molar Pregnancy |
| | A molar pregnancy, also known as gestational trophoblastic disease, occurs when the tissue that was supposed to form the placenta grows abnormally and can form a tumor that can spread beyond the womb or uterus. | | | If you have a molar pregnancy, further testing will be done to determine the type of mole and the possibility of it having spread outside the uterus. | | | Your doctor may suspect you have a molar pregnancy based on symptoms you have during or following pregnancy, or because your uterus is unusually large. |

| | Molar Pregnancy |
| | A molar pregnancy is a mass of abnormal tissue (hydatidiform mole) that comes from the placenta inside the uterus, which triggers symptoms of pregnancy. | | | A molar pregnancy triggers the same first-trimester symptoms that a normal pregnancy does (a missed menstrual period, breast tenderness, fatigue, increased urination, morning sickness). | | | Molar pregnancy is thought to be caused by a problem with the genetic information of an egg or sperm. |

| | Pregnancy Today - The Facts About Molar Pregnancy |
| | When a molar pregnancy is confirmed, the woman will quickly have a procedure called a dilation and curettage (D&C), "which is the removal of the abnormal tissue from the uterus using a suction tube," says Dr. Stotland. | | | These complications occur when abnormal cells remain in the body after the molar pregnancy has been removed. | | | In a complete molar pregnancy, there is no fetus, only an abnormal placenta that is large and swollen. |

| | Molar pregnancy |
| | It doesn't necessarily mean signal a molar pregnancy, but your practitioner will likely order an ultrasound to find out what's causing it and may do a blood test to measure your levels of the hormone hCG. | | | If you do have a molar pregnancy, the ultrasound will show cysts that look like a "cluster of grapes" in your uterus and your levels of hCG will be higher than normal. | | | If you're under age 20 or over age 40 or if you've had a previous molar pregnancy or two or more miscarriages, your chances of having a molar pregnancy are higher. |

| | Molar pregnancy poses a threat to the pregnant woman when the mole penetrates deep into the uterine wall, which can result in heavy bleeding. | | | In a molar pregnancy, the early placenta develops into a mass of cysts (called a hydatidiform mole) that resemble a bunch of white grapes. | | | There actually are two types of molar pregnancy, complete and partial. |

| | Although most cases of molar pregnancy occur after a miscarriage, some occur after ectopic pregnancies or a normal pregnancy. | | | Also, although most molar pregnancies occur after a miscarriage, some occur after an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy or even a normal delivery. | | | Therefore, women with abnormal bleeding or a persistent cough (especially if it produces blood) should see their doctor for an HCG level to make sure they do not have a molar pregnancy. |

| | Partial molar pregnancy--This occurs when the egg is fertilized by two sperm or an abnormal sperm containing two sets of chromosomes, therefore introducing three sets of chromosomes (69) at conception rather than just the needed two sets of chromosomes (46). | | | Complete molar pregnancy--This occurs when either the sperm or the egg involved in fertilization is "empty" (no chromosomes present). | | | Medical treatment for women who have been diagnosed with a molar pregnancy is very specific and very thorough. |

| | The classic signs of a molar pregnancy include the absence of fetal heart sounds, physical evidence of a uterus that is larger than expected for gestational age, and vaginal bleeding. | | | Molar pregnancies are reported in approximately 3,000 patients per year, and malignant transformation occurs in 6% to 19% of these cases [5,10]. | | | True estimates of the incidence of molar pregnancies are difficult to obtain because of considerable worldwide variation in the presentation and management of both normal and abnormal pregnancies. |
