Background. Partial hydatiform mole (PHM) with an alive foetus is exceptional (0,005% to 0,01% of all pregnancies).Case presentation. here we report a case of a 33-year-old multiparous woman. The diagnosis of PHM was suspected late, at 28 weeks gestational age. After a spontaneous initiation of the labour, at 34 th weeks gestational age, she gave birth to a normal living baby. Histopathology of the placenta confirmed the PHM while the karyotype of the new-born was 46XX. The level of beta chorionic gonadotropin (βHCG) was negative after three weeks post-delivery. Currently, the child is two years old with normal psycho-motor development.Conclusions. despite the multiple and serious complications that may arise in patients with PHM, a favourable outcome is possible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
