Background: Cervical hydatidiform molar pregnancy is an exceedingly rare occurrence that has been reported only twice before.
Case: We report a 25-year-old, G4P1D&C2 woman with a positive pregnancy test and vaginal bleeding. A cervical pregnancy with hydatidiform mole was detected on transvaginal ultrasound and color Doppler examinations. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to localize the lesion. Dilatation and curettage was performed and bleeding that was initially brisk ceased after bimanual pressure. Histopathological examination revealed a partial hydatidiform molar pregnancy. Serial beta-hCG measurements showed a decline without need for adjuvant chemotherapy.
Conclusion: Conservative fertility-sparing management was successful in this potentially fatal rare case.

Serum hCG levels in the prediction of molar pregnancy below 11 weeks of gestational age.
Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992)

Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Escola Paulista de Medicina, Department of Obstetrics - São Paulo (SP), Brazil.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum hCG level in the differential diagnosis between non-molar miscarriage and complete hydatidiform mole in<11 weeks gestation.
Methods: This was a retrospective collaborative cohort study. This study included women with gestational age<11 weeks, with ultrasound evidence of failed pregnancy and available serum hCG pre-uterine evacuation, divided into two groups: the non-molar miscarriage group and the complete hydatidiform mole group.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of hysteroscopy in the treatment of molar pregnancy and postoperative residual tissue.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 68 patients who underwent treatment for molar pregnancy in Shanxi Children's Hospital Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from April 2020 to May 2022. Based on intervention methods, patients were divided into a conventional group (n=33) and a hysteroscopy group (n=35).
Diagnosis of hydatidiform moles using and : A retrospective study.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- The study utilized chromogenic in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry to distinguish between partial hydatidiform mole (PHM), complete hydatidiform mole (CHM), and non-molar hydropic abortion (HA) in products of conception (POCs).
- A retrospective analysis of 44 POCs revealed a high accuracy rate, with Kappa agreement at 95.4%, effective in diagnosing the conditions and differentiating between triploid and diploid specimens.
- The findings suggest these methods could serve as reliable surrogate markers for chromosomal ploidy, prompting future research on fresh specimens and comparing results with other diagnostic techniques like flow cytometry and fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Multiple placental cysts are a common finding in obstetric ultrasound imaging. Although they have benign differential diagnoses, such as hydropic degeneration of the placenta or placental mesenchymal dysplasia, it's important to consider significant pathologies, such as benign gestational trophoblastic disease or hydatidiform mole. A challenging issue in obstetrics is pregnancies with a placenta that has a bipartite texture.

Article Synopsis
- - A molar pregnancy can co-occur with a normal fetus, which is quite rare and often leads to complications and poor outcomes; the case discussed involves a 26-year-old woman diagnosed with a complete molar pregnancy alongside a normal fetus.
- - The patient initially chose to continue the pregnancy despite being advised to terminate due to risks like massive bleeding and was later hospitalized multiple times for bleeding and developed chorioamnionitis, requiring a surgical procedure at 25 weeks.
- - The case highlights the complexities of managing such a rare situation, emphasizing the need for close monitoring and the risks involved, like the unfortunate neonatal death due to complications after delivery.
