Core Tip

Core tip: We here report a case of cesarean scar molar pregnancy cured by comprehensive treatment including suction evacuation, uterine arterial embolization, and chemotherapy. We also performed a literature review and found that most cases of cesarean scar molar pregnancy were associated with intraoperative bleeding. Uterine arterial embolization might help prevent massive bleeding if used before surgery.
