Acute Surgical Abdomen Due to an Invasion Mole: A Description of One Case and Review of Literature

Abstract

The invasive mole is a gestational trophoblastic tumor complicating an hydatiform mole. We report a case diagnosed as invasive mole at the stage of uterine rupture following an unrecognized hydatiform mole. The aim of this work, through this case and a review of the literature, is to show that the delay in diagnosis and treatment could affect the prognosis and lead to the death of the patient.
