A rare case of metastatic invasive mole caused spinal cord compression and paraplegia in a young woman. This case highlights the importance of considering invasive mole in young women with unexplained myelopathy.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Neurology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Metastatic invasive mole is a rare complication of gestational trophoblastic disease.
  • Spinal cord involvement is exceptionally uncommon, with limited documented cases.

Observation:

  • A 19-year-old woman presented with paraplegia due to spinal cord compression.
  • The cause was identified as a metastatic invasive mole.

Findings:

  • This case represents a rare instance of histologically proven metastatic invasive mole to the spinal cord.
  • No similar reports exist in the literature post-dating the widespread use of beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-HCG) monitoring and chemotherapy.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider metastatic invasive mole in the differential diagnosis of compressive myelopathy in young women.
