Abstract | Hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus is a very rare condition of which etiology is still inconclusive. It may occur after assisted reproduction, often leading to the death of normal embryos and other serious complications. We report a case of partial hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus after frozen embryo transplantation. More than two months after the patient underwent transplantation with two blastocysts (scored 4AB and 4BC), B-ultrasound showed a single live fetus with a large dense dotted strong echo area. The patient was treated with chemotherapy after the termination of pregnancy due to persistently increased human chorionic gonadotropin levels. Many studies have described trophoblast quality as a strong predictor of pregnancy. In the case in question, in addition to partial hydatidiform mole caused by multiple sperm entering the egg, we also speculate that the condition may be related to the poor quality of the trophoblastic ectoderm of the transferred embryo. In the process of assisted reproduction, the transfer of embryos with poor trophoblastic ectoderm in multiple embryo transfers may adversely affect pregnancy outcomes. |
