Objective: The study was carried out to evaluate the frequency and types of gestational. Trophoblastic diseases (GTD) inendometrial curettings received for histopathology examination. Data Source: Pathology Department, Shifa Naval Hospital Karachi. Design ofStudy: It was a Retrospective Descriptive Observational study. Setting: Department of Pathology, Pakistan Naval Ship; Shifa Naval HospitalKarachi. Period: From 2009 till 2010. Material & Methods: A total of 170 cases of endometrial curettage were examined. All specimensreceived with a diagnosis of product of conceptions (POC) or with the clinical suspicion of a gestational trophoblastic disease were included.Results: It was observed that partial mole identified in 57.1 % cases followed by complete mole 21.4%, choriocarcinoma 14.2% and placentalsite Trophoblastic disease 7.1% cases. Nearly half of the cases were diagnosed as having a gestational trophoblastic disease; these were fromthe age groups of 26-30 years followed by 21-25 years. Conclusions: Hydatidiform mole is the commonest gestational trophoblastic disease.Most complete moles are detected clinically but partial moles are misdiagnosed as abortions therefore all cases of abortions should be sent forhistopathological examinations.

Live Fetus

Twin pregnancy with one live fetus and one complete mole, also known as CMCF i.e. complete molar pregnancy with coexisting live fetus is a rare entity in obstetrics. This combination is associated with increased incidences of spontaneous abortions, vaginal bleeding, prematurity, intrauterine demise, pre-eclampsia, uterine ruptures, theca lutein cysts, persistent gestational trophoblastic disease. We report a rare case of a 24-year-old patient with CMCF at 14 weeks of gestation. After confirming the diagnosis, ruling out malignancy and proper counselling, decision was taken to continue her pregnancy. However, the patient had spontaneous abortion at 15 weeks of gestation. Her serum beta Hcg has shown a decreasing trend in her follow up visits with no signs suggestive of persistent gestational trophoblastic disease.

Clinicopathological Study

Several potential etiologic risk factors have been evaluated for the development of complete hydatidiform mole. The two established risk factors that have emerged are extremes of maternal age and prior molar pregnancy. Advanced or very young maternal age has consistently correlated with higher rates of complete hydatidiform mole. Compared to women aged 21- 35 years, the risk of a complete mole is 1.9 times higher for women both more than 35 years and less than 21 years as well as 7.5 times higher for women more than 40 years. (49, 50) The risk of repeat molar pregnancy after 1 mole is about 1% or about 10-20 times the risk for the general population. The present study on the gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) was carried out as it is one of the fascinating gynaecological tumours. Hence a clinicopathological study of gestational trophoblastic disease was undertaken with relevance to the histopathological study of GTD and clinical correlation.

Twin pregnancy involving a complete mole and a normal singleton pregnancy with its own healthy trophoblast is a rare entity. The most serious complication is the progression to gestational trophoblastic disease. Reporting the case of a 38-year-old pastry, G5P4, consultant for bleeding after pregnancy of 16 weeks not followed, whose pelvic ultrasound showed the appearance of an association of a complete hydatidiform mole and a normal singleton pregnancy .The patient had a spontaneous abortion 48 hours after her hospitalization. The anathomopathologic study confirmed the diagnosis of the association of a complete mole and a normal placenta. The evolution is marked by the non-evolution towards gestational trophoblastic disease.

Background: The most common benign pathological lesion in women of reproductive age is uterine leiomyoma. Gestational trophoblastic disease includes tumors and tumor like lesions originating from trophoblastic tissue. The aim of this study was to find the spectrum of molar pregnancy and uterine pathologies focusing on gestational trophoblastic disease as no study has been done in the past few years. Methods: Endometrial and uterine specimens of patients (n=436) between the ages of 15-65 years were collected from a private hospital in Karachi from December 2018 to December 2019. This cross-sectional study was carried out by pathological diagnosis of patients’ samples under light microscopy using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Stratification was done about age and nature of specimen to control the effect modifiers. The post stratification Chi square test was applied and p value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Mean age of the patients was 36.1 years ±7.8. Total 436 uterine biopsies included 260(59.6%) hysterectomies, 56(12.8%) endometrial curetting’s, 117(26.8%) evacuation specimens and 3(0.7%) polypectomies. Common pathologies included 124(28.4%) leiomyomas, 61(14%) proliferative endometrium, 52(11.9%) adenomyosis and 32(7.3%) endometrial polyps. Gestational trophoblastic disease was seen in 9(2.06%). Seven (87.5%) were partial hydatidiform moles, one (12.5%) exaggerated placental site reaction and one choriocarcinoma. Mole was common between 26-30 years with mean age of 27.2 years and prevalence was 6/100 abortions. Conclusion: Leiomyoma was the commonest (28.4%) uterine pathology followed by proliferative endometrium (14.5%). However, endometrial stromal sarcoma and endometriosis were found 0.2% each. High prevalence of mole was seen in this study. Partial mole was most common and choriocarcinoma was least common. Keywords: Hydatidiform Mole; Pathology; Prevalence.
