Trophoblastic Tissue

Transvaginal Doppler ultrasonography has an important role in detecting and confirming the gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). It can also be helpful in early detection of the malignant cases of GTD such as the invasion and protrusion of trophoblastic tissue into the uterine wall. Ultrasonographic picture of the malignant GTD is also specific for the presence of prominent zones of vasculavization in the peritrophoblastic tissue, as well as in the uterine tissue in which malignant GTD is developed. Resistance Index (RI) values were measured at the level of blood vessels of peritrophoblastic tissue and of suspected zones in the uterine tissue to detect neovascularization, which followed the malignant process. Theca luteal cysts were often detected by Transvaginal Doppler ultrasonography.

Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding

Uterine arteriovenous malformations may cause life-threatening abnormal genital bleeding in women at childbearing age. Transvaginal Doppler ultrasonography is a widely available, noninvasive and excellent diagnostic method. The authors report the case of a patient with history of gestational trophoblastic disease and multiple curettage procedures who developed uterine arteriovenous malformations, with remission of the lesions after treatment with methotrexate.

Background: The most common benign pathological lesion in women of reproductive age is uterine leiomyoma. Gestational trophoblastic disease includes tumors and tumor like lesions originating from trophoblastic tissue. The aim of this study was to find the spectrum of molar pregnancy and uterine pathologies focusing on gestational trophoblastic disease as no study has been done in the past few years. Methods: Endometrial and uterine specimens of patients (n=436) between the ages of 15-65 years were collected from a private hospital in Karachi from December 2018 to December 2019. This cross-sectional study was carried out by pathological diagnosis of patients’ samples under light microscopy using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Stratification was done about age and nature of specimen to control the effect modifiers. The post stratification Chi square test was applied and p value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Mean age of the patients was 36.1 years ±7.8. Total 436 uterine biopsies included 260(59.6%) hysterectomies, 56(12.8%) endometrial curetting’s, 117(26.8%) evacuation specimens and 3(0.7%) polypectomies. Common pathologies included 124(28.4%) leiomyomas, 61(14%) proliferative endometrium, 52(11.9%) adenomyosis and 32(7.3%) endometrial polyps. Gestational trophoblastic disease was seen in 9(2.06%). Seven (87.5%) were partial hydatidiform moles, one (12.5%) exaggerated placental site reaction and one choriocarcinoma. Mole was common between 26-30 years with mean age of 27.2 years and prevalence was 6/100 abortions. Conclusion: Leiomyoma was the commonest (28.4%) uterine pathology followed by proliferative endometrium (14.5%). However, endometrial stromal sarcoma and endometriosis were found 0.2% each. High prevalence of mole was seen in this study. Partial mole was most common and choriocarcinoma was least common. Keywords: Hydatidiform Mole; Pathology; Prevalence.
