Term Delivery of a Complete Molar Pregnancy with a Coexistent Normal Pregnancy

Abstract EN

Twin pregnancy with a complete mole and a coexistent normal fetus reaching term is a rare occurrence.

We report a case of a 21-yrs G2P1L0 un-booked patient at 39 weeks who was referred for the same condition diagnosed incidentally on ultrasound scan which showed a singleton pregnancy in breech presentation with a normal placenta and a heterogeneous cystic lesion seen anteriorly, suggesting a coexistent molar pregnancy.

Cesarean section was done, and a healthy male baby was delivered with a grossly normal placenta and a second placenta with grape like vesicles.

Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of complete mole and normal placenta.

Postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient was kept on beta hcg follow-up to monitor progression to gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, but it normalized by 12 weeks.
