AbstractTwin pregnancy of a hydatidiform mole with a coexistent live fetus is very rare, and complete molar pregnancy is involved in most cases. A partial molar pregnancy almost always ends in miscarriage due to a triploid fetus. Here, we report a case of a 32-year-old Chinese woman with ultrasound diagnosis of a partial molar pregnancy. Amniocentesis suggested mosaicism, but the fetus was morphologically normal. The woman chose to continue the pregnancy after fully understanding the risk. The infant was delivered prematurely, and the presence of a large single placenta with molar changes. The baby’s peripheral blood chromosomes were diploid, and the pregnant woman had no serious complications. The diagnosis, management, and monitoring of this condition will remain challenging because of its rarity. Partial hydatidiform mole combined with pregnancy can result in delivering of a normal fetus and live birth under proper management.

A twin pregnancy comprising a complete hydatidiform mole coexisting with a foetus is a rare obstetric condition with an incidence of 1 in 22,000 to 1 in 100,000 pregnancies. The management of such case is challenging due to the associated risk of maternal and foetal complications. We report a case of a 25-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1 with a normal intrauterine pregnancy coexisting with complete hydatidiform mole. An ultrasound scan demonstrated normal foetus and placenta along with coexistent intrauterine echogenic mass with features of hydatidiform mole. The microscopic examination of the abnormal placenta confirmed complete hydatidiform mole. Although twin pregnancy with complete hydatidiform mole and coexistent foetus is associated with increased risk of developing maternal and foetal complications, continuation of pregnancy may be an acceptable option under close monitoring to detect early signs of complications.
