Placental spectrum features between mesenchymal dysplasia and partial hydatidiform mole coexisting with a live fetus

Márcia Marinho et al. J Clin Ultrasound. 2021 Oct.

Abstract

We report a case of a singleton hydrops pregnancy with placental gross and microscopic features between partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) and placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) in a diploid live fetus. Pregnancy was complicated by early onset of growth restriction and pre-eclampsia. A female newborn was born at 29 weeks with no congenital malformations. Histology of the placenta revealed mixed phenotype of PMD and PHM, and genetic test results were normal.

Keywords: diploidy; fetus; obstetrics; partial molar pregnancy; placental mesenchymal dysplasia; ultrasonography.
