Abstract

A 31-year-old woman at 11 weeks gestation with ultrasonographic demonstration of partial mole had markedly elevated serum bHCG levels (458,000 mIU/ml). The patient underwent a vacuum curettage with pathological confirmation of the diagnosis, and cytogenetic analysis revealed a tetraploid karyotype (92,XXXX). The patient developed persistent gestational trophoblastic disease and was successfully treated with two courses of actinomycin D. Persistent trophoblastic disease after evacuation of a tetraploid partial mole was not reported previously.
