Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) occurs when a pregnancy test is positive, but a pregnancy cannot be confirmed through ultrasound, leading to diagnostic procedures like dilation and curettage (D&C) or laparoscopy.
- A case study highlighted a tiny complete hydatidiform mole discovered during D&C, suggesting that even small abnormal growths in PUL cases should prompt further investigation.
- Further research is needed to determine if these tiny moles pose risks for persistent gestational trophoblastic disease, but D&C may help clarify diagnoses in PUL patients.
