Termination of a partial hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus: A case report.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:We describe the treatment strategy for a patient who was found to have a partial hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus (PHMCF) during the second trimester. The patient was a 38-year-old Chinese woman who had become pregnant following in vitro fertilization and embryo transplantation. We wanted to determine the safest therapeutic strategy to terminate the PHMCF during the second trimester. CASE SUMMARY:In this case, we present a patient who was found to have a PHMCF complicated with serious continuous vaginal bleeding and pre-eclampsia during the second trimester. After careful evaluation, the pregnancy was considered to be unsustainable and was terminated via caesarean section (CS). An infant with weak vital signs and a partially cystic placenta measuring 110 mm × 95 mm × 35 mm were delivered by CS. The patient was discharged after 4 d. The serum levels of ?-human chorionic gonadotropin decreased to within a normal range 5 wk after the operation, and no evidence of persistent trophoblastic disease or lung metastases was noticed at the 6-mo follow-up. CONCLUSION:CS termination of PHMCF during the second trimester may be a relatively safe therapeutic strategy.
