    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Gynecologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Hydatidiform mole is a gestational trophoblastic disease.
    • Complete hydatidiform moles are typically aneuploid and non-viable.
    • Molar pregnancies usually do not involve a coexisting fetus.

    Observation:

    • The incidence of hydatidiform mole without a fetus in the US is approximately 1 in 2000 pregnancies.
    • Hydatidiform mole with a coexisting live fetus is an extremely rare event.
    • Reported incidence of hydatidiform mole with a coexisting fetus ranges from 1:10,000 to 1:100,000 pregnancies.

    Findings:

    • Confirms the extreme rarity of hydatidiform mole coexisting with a live fetus.
    • Highlights the significantly lower incidence compared to anembryonic molar pregnancies.
    • Provides incidence statistics for this rare obstetric complication.

    Implications:

    • Requires careful diagnostic evaluation to differentiate from other pregnancy complications.
    • Informs genetic counseling and management strategies for affected pregnancies.
    • Contributes to understanding the pathophysiology of rare gestational trophoblastic diseases.
