    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Hydatidiform mole is a gestational trophoblastic neoplasm.
    • Pregnancy can be complicated by endocrine disorders.

    Observation:

    • A 15-week pregnant patient presented with a hydatidiform mole.
    • The patient exhibited overt signs of hyperthyroidism.

    Findings:

    • Uterine evacuation and subsequent hysterectomy normalized the patient's thyroid function.
    • The hyperthyroid state was transient and directly related to the mole.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare association between hydatidiform mole and hyperthyroidism.
    • Management focuses on mole removal, obviating the need for definitive anti-thyroid therapy.
