Abstract:
This is a case of a pregnant lady who presented in her booking clinic with an abdomen that was considerably larger than her gestational age would suggest. An ultrasound scan revealed a viable foetus, and a large, abnormal placenta, with the appearance of tissue similar to that found in molar pregnancy. The patient developed preterm labour at 27 weeks gestation, and delivered a live baby. Concurrently, the patient passed a lot of grape-like cysts and a large placenta, which through histology, was confirmed to be a partial hydatidiform mole. She needed suction curettage to remove remaining uterine placental tissue.
