- Abstract
- Hydatidiform mole with coexistent fetus is very rare, arising about 1 in 20,000 to 100,000 pregnancies. There are limited data to guide the management and treatment. Also it is a dilemma to decide continuation or termination of pregnancy. We experienced a case of hydatidiform mole with a coexistent fetus which was diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging in a woman of 13th weeks of pregnancy. After termination of pregnancy, the patient treated with prophylactic chemotherapy. We report the case with a brief review of literature.
