Abstract
Partial hydatiform mole (MHP) represents a spectrum of trophoblastic-related disorders occurring during pregnancy. Also known as embryonal mole, it is characterized by a recognizable ovum abnormality with vesicular transformation of villi but with recognizable placental appearance and amniotic cavity containing the fetus. First-trimester spontaneous abortion most commonly suggests the diagnosis. Partial moles rarely persist beyond the first trimester and are then a cause of maternal and fetal complications and diagnostic confusion. MHP of genetic origin is triploid with extra chromosome of paternal origin. The coexistence of normal fetal karyotype and MHP is exceptional. We report a rare case of partial molar pregnancy with liveborn diploid fetus in a 36-year-old woman diagnosed with threat of premature labour associated with placenta previa at 27 weeks of amenorrhea (WA). © Dhekra Toumi et al.Entities:
