1/25. Malignant trophoblastic disease following a twin pregnancy consisting of a complete hydatiform mole and a normal fetus and placenta. A case report.We report an unusual pregnancy with a complete hydatiform mole coexisting with a normal fetus and placenta. This report stresses the importance of a correct diagnosis and the dilemmas the clinician is faced with when managing such a case. Malignant trophoblastic disease occurs in 55% of complete hydatiform mole and fetus. Two-thirds require combination chemotherapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mole, pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/25. Mola invasiva--special form of GTD.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.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4027.2467732814keywords = hydatidiform mole, hydatidiform, mole (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/25. hydatidiform mole in 59-years-old woman: a case report.We describe a clinical data and histopathological findings in hydatidiform mole found in 59-years-old woman. The patient was admitted to Hospital with vaginal bleeding. Diagnostic curettage revealed hydatidiform mole VI group according to Hertig-Sheldon classification. The patient underwent transabdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorosalpingectomy. The serum level of beta-HCG has decreased from initially observed 128.6 U/l to less than 3 U/l after 3 courses of MTX therapy. Patient is under every-six-month observation. No further treatment is planned.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2685.292039114keywords = hydatidiform mole, hydatidiform, mole (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/25. Radiologically identified molar invasion into pelvic arteriovenous shunts.A case of radiologically identified molar invasion into extensive arteriovenous shunts (AVSs) is described. CT and MRI revealed a large uterine mass, accompanied by multiple AVSs. Dynamic MRI and pelvic angiography demonstrated multiple trophoblastic cysts invading into the AVSs. Resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis of invasive mole. Dynamic MRI was very useful in determining the etiology of AVS.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.1551430956031keywords = molar, mole (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/25. Partial hydatidiform mole.A case of partial hydatidiform mole is presented, occurring in a young primiparous woman after natural conception. She presented with incomplete miscarriage. Histological diagnosis of partial mole was made. Failure of beta HCG to fall resulted in the start of chemotherapy. WHO scoring placed her in low risk group. In spite of the low risk, she required third line chemotherapy for complete eradication of disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6712.1931697005keywords = hydatidiform mole, hydatidiform, mole (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/25. A case of metastasizing invasive hydatidiform mole. Is less--less good? review of the literature with regard to adequate treatment.BACKGROUND: patients with invasive hydatidiform moles (IHM) have a good prognosis. Even if disease has spread, monocytostatic treatment might be sufficient if the diagnosis has been histologically confirmed. Established classifications divide gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) including choriocarcinoma into cases with "high" and "low" risk. Without respect to histology "high-risk" cases are recommended to obtain polychemotherapy. CASE: A 40-year-old nullipara underwent hysterectomy for persistent vaginal bleeding after she had already been treated with curettage for hydatidiform mole. An IHM was pathohistologically confirmed. There were no signs of pulmonary spread or other metastases at the time of surgery. Postsurgically persistent beta-hCG levels lead to thorough staging, which revealed multiple pulmonary metastases and a vaginal metastasis. Despite metastasizing GTD with poor prognosis criteria she was treated with single agent therapy. Eight cycles of two weekly methotrexate (MTX) were administered. All sites of metastases responded and our patient is still fine after one year of follow-up. CONCLUSION: With respect to this and other reports monochemotherapy can be a reasonable primary treatment for metastatic IHM.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 8054.4935465627keywords = hydatidiform mole, hydatidiform, mole (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/25. A perplexing case of gastrointestinal haemorrhage.choriocarcinoma is a gestational trophoblastic tumour with a high metastatic potential but presentation with gastrointestinal haemorrhage due to jejunal mucosal metastasis is very rare. A 25-year-old Nepali woman presented with severe anaemia and massive gastrointestinal haemorrhage after normal pregnancy following evacuation of a hydatiform mole. During laparotomy, the patient was found to have extensive jejunal mucosal metastases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.17695715367893keywords = mole, pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/25. Recurrent partial hydatidiform mole: a report of a patient with three consecutive molar pregnancies.hydatidiform mole (HM) is the most common form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia and is characterized by atypical hyperplastic trophoblasts and hydropic villi. recurrence of HM is extremely rare. Here, we report the case of a patient with three consecutive partial HMs without normal pregnancy. A 28-year-old woman with gravida 3, para 0, was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of an invasive mole in December 2003. She had three consecutive molar pregnancies in 2000, 2001, and 2003. All three molar pregnancies were evacuated by suction curettage and the patient was followed by serial beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels. All three moles were histologically confirmed as partial moles. In the first two molar events no additional treatment after evacuation was required, but in the last event, the beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels increased and an invasive mole was suspected. Diagnostic workup ruled out an invasive mole and choriocarcinoma. Karyotypic analysis of the patient and her husband was normal. The patient required chemotherapy for treatment of persistent disease. Recurrent partial HM is a very rare clinical disorder. Repetitive molar pregnancy is not an indication for chemotherapy, but persistent disease does require chemotherapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5375.3410217913keywords = hydatidiform mole, hydatidiform, molar, mole, pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/25. Elevated sera levels of SP-1 induced by chemotherapy in patients with metastatic gestational trophoblastic diseases.6 patients with invasive mole and 5 patients with choriocarcinoma were treated from 1983 till 1986. serum samples were analyzed by simultaneous determining of pregnancy-specific beta-1-glycoprotein (SP-1) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) using Serono radioimmunoassay kit. In 2 patients with metastatic gestational trophoblastic disease (MGTD) SP-1 peaks were found during chemotherapy. In patients with MGTD with normalized beta-hCG levels a repeated, temporary elevation of isolated SP-1 levels was observed within some months following chemotherapy. After the last isolated peak of SP-1 the pulmonary metastases disappeared. This phenomenon was interpreted as a consequence of the oncolytic process in the affected tissue. In 1 patient with nonmetastatic choriocarcinoma SP-1 ELISA pseudoreaction was found. To recognize these pseudoreactions, a control plate with nonimmunized rabbit IgG was used, simultaneously with SP-1 determinations.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.17695715367893keywords = mole, pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
