Ans-A H. mole. (Ref Dutta Obst.7th/pg. 192)Hydatidiform mole/vesicular mole:# Abnormal condition of ovum with partly degeneration and party hyperplastic changes in young chronic villi.# It is benign neoplasia of chronic with malignant potential.# Highest incidence in Philippines/ # In India 1 in 400.# Can be complete or incomplete.# Complete moles have 46XX Karyotype, molar chromosomes derived entirely from Father (androgenous).G# Vesicle fluid is interstitial fluid rich in HCG# There is no trace of embryo or amniotic sac.# Vaginal bleeding commonest presentation (90%).# Expulsion of "grape-like" vesicles per vaginum diagnostic.# Features of pre-eclampsia present in about 50%.# Size of uterus more than expected for period of ammenorrhea in 70%, corresponds with period of ammenorrhea in 20% and smaller in 10%.# Unilateral or bilateral enlargement of ovary# (Theca lutein Cyst) in 25-50% of cases.2# Histological section of hydatidiform mole showing hydropic degeneration of the villus stroma with absence of blood vessels and trophoblastic proliferation.# USG - 'Snow storm' appearance.2# HCG in urine between 1 in 200 to 1 in 500 beyond 100 days highly suggestive.# Complications of hydatidiform mole:# Immediate: 1. Haemorrhage and shock# 2. Sepsis# 3. Perforation of the uterus# 4. Preeclampsia# 5. Acute pulmonary insufficiency# 6. Coagulation failure# Late: Choriocarcinoma# Rx:- Rx of choice is suction evacuation.Evacuation of uterus is to be done as soon as diagnosis of vesicular mole is made.
