Sad Fetus Syndrome - Gestational Trophoblastic Disease Concurrent with a Living Fetus or Fetuses
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Abstract
The term gestational trophoblastic disease is used to indicate a group of both benign and malignant trophoblast, including molar degeneration of villi, hydatid mole, invasive mole and choriocarcinoma.
This study shows a new classification of trophoblastic disease existing with a living fetus or fetuses. Benign hydatid mole is the initial stage of the disease continuum, whereas highly malignant choriocarcinoma is the final stage of this spectrum.
