Partial Invasive Molar Pregnancy –2 Case Reports
Abstract
Gestational trophoblastic disease encompasses several entities like complete mole , partial mole , invasive mole , gestational trophoblastic carcinoma and trophoblastic carcinoma from implantation site . These entities are different from each other by their origins , morphology , their evolution and their treatment. Among all components partial mole is very common (90%) and triploid genetically. This is one of the important causative factors of miscarriages. Very rarely (2-4%) partial mole can develop into invasive one presenting with features of incomplete abortion , missed abortion and sometimes as obstetric emergencies like intra peritoneal hemorrhage and torrential vaginal bleeding .So proper diagnosis and timely intervention can prevent mortality and reduce morbidity of the patients. Here we report two such cases of partial invasive molar pregnancies with varied picture .
