Abstract

Background: Gestational trophoblastic disease is a wide spectrum of abnormal pregnancy that includes: Complete molar pregnancy (CMP), partial molar pregnancies (PMP), invasive mole (IM), chorioncarcinoma (CHC), and placental site trophoblastic tumors (PSTT. Hydatidiform mole is an abnormal gestation characterized by the presence of hydropic changes affecting some or all of the placental villi. Hydatidiform mole arises as a result of the abnormal fertilization of an ovum. Tubal ectopic hydatidiform mole is a rare lesion and few cases have been reported.
