Abstract:
Immunohistochemical study of 15 complete moles detected expression of human chorion-gonadotropin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL) and placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP). Syncytiotrophoblast showed the most conspicuous expression of hCG, hPL positivity was mild, PLAP positivity poor. Intermediate trophoblast had stronger hPL positivity There was not any positivity in cytotrophoblastic cells.
