Ovarian molar pregnancy, though a very rare entity, behaves like any other molar pregnancy. After surgical management, close follow-up with Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin surveillance is invariable to detect progression to persistent Gestational Trophoblastic Disease, which if develops can be treated successfully with chemotherapy.

Trophoblastic Disease

ABSTRACT The Gestational Trophoblastic Disease includes an interrelated group of diseases originating from placental tissue, with distinct behaviors concerning local invasion and metastasis. The high sensitivity of the serial dosages of human chorionic gonadotrophin, combined with advances in chemotherapy treatment, have made gestational trophoblastic neoplasia curable, most often through chemotherapy. However, surgery remains of major importance in the management of patients with gestational trophoblastic disease, improving their prognosis. Surgery is necessary in the control of the disease's complications, such as hemorrhage, and in cases of resistant/relapsed neoplasia. This review discusses the indications and the role of surgical interventions in the management of women with molar pregnancy and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.

Distinguishing Features

Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor is a rare and distinctive pathologic entity within the complex family of gestational trophoblastic disease. We describe a case of epithelioid trophoblastic tumor occurring in a 34-year-old woman, who presented with a large uterine tumor 3 years following an uncomplicated pregnancy. The clinicopathologic findings in this case are typical of this unusual entity and consistent with current literature, with the exception of negative beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin levels. The distinguishing features from other intermediate trophoblastic tumors and tumor-like lesions are discussed.
