A twin pregnancy with a complete hydatidiform mole and a coexisting normal fetus (CHMF) is a rare clinical scenario, and it carries many associated pregnancy and postnatal risks. Limited numbers of case studies exist reporting an outcome of live birth, and only three prior cases report the presentation of a hydatidiform mole as a placenta previa. We report a case of CHMF with the molar component presenting antenatally as a placenta previa, which ultimately resulted in placenta accreta at the time of delivery. A live male infant was delivered at 34 weeks’ gestation via planned cesarean section, and a hysterectomy was performed following unsuccessful removal of the molar component. We additionally utilized previously described methods of placing internal iliac balloons and ureteral stents prior to delivery. In such a high-risk pregnancy with a known molar previa component, these surgical preparation measures may be of benefit.

A coexistent molar pregnancy with a normal fetus is rare, with an incidence of 1 in 22.000 to 100.000 pregnancies-only 200 cases reported in the last two decades. The ultrasound is essential for an earlier diagnosis, and the management of these cases is challenging due to the increased risk of obstetrics complications and the possibility of posterior gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Here we describe a 33-year-old healthy woman with a first-trimester twin pregnancy, presented with a normal fetus and a heterogeneous and vacuolar structure suggestive of complete hydatidiform mole. The pregnancy was interrupted, and a histological diagnosis confirmed complete hydatidiform mole in dichorionic/diamniotic twin pregnancy at 14 weeks. Molar twin pregnancy is a rare condition, and do not exist any consensus protocol to guide the clinical approach, so the decision to continue the pregnancy depends on the couple’s desire and maternal and fetal complications.

AbstractTwin pregnancy of a hydatidiform mole with a coexistent live fetus is very rare, and complete molar pregnancy is involved in most cases. A partial molar pregnancy almost always ends in miscarriage due to a triploid fetus. Here, we report a case of a 32-year-old Chinese woman with ultrasound diagnosis of a partial molar pregnancy. Amniocentesis suggested mosaicism, but the fetus was morphologically normal. The woman chose to continue the pregnancy after fully understanding the risk. The infant was delivered prematurely, and the presence of a large single placenta with molar changes. The baby’s peripheral blood chromosomes were diploid, and the pregnant woman had no serious complications. The diagnosis, management, and monitoring of this condition will remain challenging because of its rarity. Partial hydatidiform mole combined with pregnancy can result in delivering of a normal fetus and live birth under proper management.
