Published: June 2017

Gestational trophoblastic disease spectrum ranges from benign hydatidiform mole to trophoblastic malignancy (placental site trophoblastic tumor and choriocarcinoma). Benign gestational trophoblastic disease occurs in women of reproductive age and is extremely rare in postmenopausal women.
