Invasive Mole of the Uterus: A Case Report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This case presents a 31-year-old patient who was admitted due to secondary amenorrhea and high beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels. During hospitalization, a hydatidiform mole was identified. Initially, fractional curettage, hysteroscopy, and laparoscopy were performed. Due to the ineffectiveness of these methods, it was decided to perform a supracervical hysterectomy. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of an invasive hydatidiform mole. hCG levels were monitored until they dropped to <1.2 mIU/ml. This case shows that surgical treatment can be an effective method for the patient if preservation of fertility is not necessary.
