[Partial hydatidiform mole with significantly increased serum HCG levels in the triploidy syndrome]

The authors report on a triploid pregnancy with foetal malformations and a sonographically diagnosed partial hydatit mole. The course of this pregnancy was characterised by pre-eclampsia. The fact that in this case, for example, HCG serum levels were very high and persisted post abortum, similar to the concentrations seen in complete hydatit mole, underlines the difficulties in assessing and diagnosing a partial hydatit mole.
