Area of Science:

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

Background:

  • Partial hydatid mole diagnosis presents complex clinical decisions for physicians and expectant parents.
  • Continued pregnancy with a partial hydatid mole poses risks of maternal complications versus potential for a viable pregnancy.

Observation:

  • A case of partial hydatid mole diagnosed at 18 weeks gestation is reported.
  • Ultrasound excluded fetal malformations, and cytogenetic analysis ruled out fetal triploidy.
  • Close monitoring was implemented to detect potential complications during the pregnancy.

Findings:

  • Continuation of pregnancy is possible in approximately 60% of cases without increased maternal risk, according to literature.
  • The reported case experienced life-threatening uterine hemorrhage with placenta previa at 22 weeks, necessitating premature termination.

  • Persistent mole required cytostatic treatment post-hysterectomy, indicating resistance to surgical remission.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the critical need for thorough patient counseling and individualized risk assessment in managing partial hydatid mole pregnancies.
    • Management strategies must balance the potential for fetal survival with the significant maternal risks.
    • Advanced monitoring and therapeutic interventions, including chemotherapy, may be necessary for persistent or refractory cases.
