Termination of a partial hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus: A case report

Figure 1 Timeline. PHMCF: Partial hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus.

Figure 2 Transvaginal ultrasonographic images. A: Transvaginal ultrasonographic image showing a normal fetus (white arrow); B: Transvaginal ultrasonographic image showing multiple echogenic areas (black arrow) that are suggestive of molar degeneration.

Figure 3 Magnetic resonance imaging scans. The placental tissue with abnormal signal intensity in the left portion of the uterus (white arrow), the unclear relationship between the myometrium and placental tissue, and a normal fetus (black arrow) are shown. A: Transverse view; B: Coronal view.

Figure 4 Histopathology of the hydatidiform mole. Chorionic villi of varying sizes and shapes and focal trophoblastic hyperplasia (hematoxylin and eosin staining; magnification, ×40). A and B: Focal hydropic villi with an irregular scalloped outline and focal trophoblastic hyperplasia between hydrops.

Figure 5 Images of the gross specimen. A: The partially cystic placenta (specimen size: 110 mm × 95 mm × 35 mm) containing vesicular tissue (black arrow) and normal (white arrow) sections; B: The vesicular tissue (specimen size: 180 mm × 160 mm × 45 mm).
