RESUMENIntroducción: La enfermedad trofoblástica gestacional es un espectro de enfermedades de la placenta, existiendo entre ellas algunas con potencial de invasión y metástasis, dentro de las cuales se incluye la mola invasiva, coriocarcinoma, tumores del sitio de inserción de la placenta y mola hidatidiforme. Esta última a su vez se divide en mola completa y parcial, diferenciándose en histopatología, morfología, cariotipo, malignización y comportamiento clínico, que es el punto al cual nos referiremos en este caso. Caso clínico: mujer de 46 años ingresa por hemoptisis, metrorragia, disnea a pequeños esfuerzos, ortopnea y disnea paroxística nocturna, asociado a hipertensión, taquicardia, masa hipogástrica firme e inmóvil y edema de extremidades. Se realiza ecografía abdominal compatible con MH y bhCG elevada. Evoluciona con crisis hipertensivas, insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva y tirotoxicosis. Inicia trabajo de parto expulsando 665 grs de mola, presentando posteriormente a legrado uterino anemia severa y shock hipovolémico, requiriendo transfusiones y drogas vasoactivas. Se recupera progresivamente con posterior control al alta de bhCG indetectable a los 6 meses. Discusión: Es infrecuenta en la actualidad la presentación clínica clásica de la mola hidatidiforme completa debido al diagnóstico y control precoz del embarazo asociado al uso masivo de la ecografía. Sin embargo es relevante tener un alto grado de sospecha de esta patología debido a sus graves consecuencias, y así realizar una derivación y manejo precoz.Palabras clave: Mola hidatidiforme completa, embarazo molar/complicaciones, preeclampsia, hipertiroidismo, femenino, embarazo ABSTRACT Background: Gestational trophoblastic disease is a spectrum of diseases of the placenta, existing some with potential for invasion and metastasis, among which include invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, tumors of the insertion site of the placenta and hydatidiform mole. The last one is divided into complete and partial mole, differing in histopathology, morphology, karyotype, and clinical malignant behavior, witch is the point we refer to in this case. Case report: 46 year old woman admitted for hemoptysis, metrorrhagia, dyspnea on slight exertion, orthopnea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea associated with hypertension, tachycardia, firm and immovable hypogastric mass and limb edema. Abdominal ultrasound compatible with MH and high BhCG is performed. Evolve with hypertensive crisis, congestive heart failure and thyrotoxicosis. Labor starts driving out 665 grams of mole, after the curettage present hypovolemic shock and severe anemia requiring transfusions and vasoactive drugs. It gradually recovers further control the discharge of BhCG undetectable at 6 months. Discussion: It is currently infrequent classical clinical presentation of complete hydatidiform mole due to early diagnosis and management of pregnancy associated with the widespread use of ultrasound. However it is important to have a high degree of suspicion of
