Abstract
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasias (GTN) are rare tumours that constitute less than 1% of all gynecological malignancies. Invasive mole is a distinct subgroup of GTN, which if not diagnosed and treated early, can result in serious complications like uterine perforation and haemoperitoneum. We present a rare case of an invasive mole of the uterus, which developed following the evacuation of a molar pregnancy. It was accurately diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound and color Doppler, and successfully treated before any major complications could arise.Entities:
