Abstract

The sonographic and clinical spectrum of coexistent live fetus and trophoblastic disease is illustrated and discussed. Two patients with a single placenta with trophoblastic change and one patient with two placentas, one normal and one with a hydatidiform mole, are described. The clinical and sonographic abnormalities in all three patients were characteristic. In the two patients with single placenta, the histologic findings were minimal. The clinical and sonographic presentations of coexistent mole and fetus are described and etiology is discussed. The implication of the lack of histologic confirmation of hydatidiform mole suggests a spectrum of findings in trophoblastic disease.
