Abstract
The estimated incidence of twin pregnancy consisting of hydatidiform mole and co-existing fetus is one per 22,000-100,000 pregnancies.

We experienced a case of twin pregnancy with a hydatidiform mole and co-existing fetus in hypogonadotropic hypogonadismal woman who had been treated with gonadotropin for ovulation induction. A brief reviews of related literatures was done.
