Pregnancy-Associated Cardiomyopathy in a Late-Diagnosed Partial Hydatidiform Mole: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The hydatidiform mole presents as either a complete or partial mole. They are differentiated by morphology, histopathology, karyotype, and the risk of malignancy. Partial hydatidiform moles are the only type of trophoblastic gestational disease associated with the presence of a fetus (with or without positive cardiac response). However, early intrauterine fetal death often occurs with triploidy. Therefore, a partial hydatidiform mole is often misdiagnosed as an incomplete abortion. This case is unique due to the rare occurrence of a partial hydatidiform mole complicated by severe pregnancy-associated cardiomyopathy. To date, only five similar cases have been reported, all describing cardiorespiratory symptoms from left ventricular dysfunction in previously healthy women
