    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Reproductive Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Hydatidiform mole is a gestational trophoblastic neoplasm.
    • Coexistence of a hydatidiform mole and a live fetus is exceptionally rare.
    • Antepartum diagnosis and management strategies for this condition are critical.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of hydatidiform mole with a coexistent live fetus was diagnosed antepartum at 20 weeks gestation.
    • The pregnancy was managed conservatively, allowing continuation after diagnosis.
    • Serial blood and urinary measurements were monitored to assess fetal and placental status.

    Findings:

    • Spontaneous labor occurred at 32 weeks gestation.
    • A healthy 1435g female infant was delivered via spontaneous labor.

  • Manual evacuation of the uterus was performed post-delivery.
  • The infant exhibited no physical or mental abnormalities at 12 months follow-up.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of successful pregnancy continuation and delivery in rare instances of hydatidiform mole with a coexistent fetus.
    • Management strategies and diagnostic criteria for this rare condition can be refined based on this case.
    • Further research into monitoring and management protocols for hydatidiform mole with a coexistent fetus is warranted.
