Complete molar pregnancy with coexisting normal twin complicated by hyperthyroidism that resulted in normal alive delivery: A case report from Wolaita Sodo, Ethiopia.

Abstract
It is a rare condition in twin pregnancies for a fetus to coexist with a complete hydatidiform mole, present with complications, and result in a healthy neonate. Only a few cases have been reported upon review of the literature. Early diagnosis is essential because this type of pregnancy is associated with serious complications and management challenges. The complications associated with these pregnancies include antepartum hemorrhage, hyperthyroidism, preeclampsia, prematurity, fetal death, and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Here, we describe a case of dizygotic twin pregnancy in which a complete mole coexists with a normal fetus, complicated by hyperthyroidism, that resulted in the birth of a 1700-g female alive neonate who is euthyroid to a 25-year-old primigravida at a gestational age of 33 weeks by emergency cesarean section for an indication of a twin pregnancy molar coexisting with an alive fetus in labor. The mother had been on conservative management and treated as an inpatient for hyperthyroidism. In our country, there have been three case reports of partial moles with coexisting alive fetuses, but this is the first case report of a complete mole with a coexisting alive fetus.

[PMID: 31667181 PMCID: PMC6819279 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v7.i20.3289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2019] [Revised: 08/22/2019] [Accepted: 09/09/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We describe the treatment strategy for a patient who was found to have a partial hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus (PHMCF) during the second trimester. The patient was a 38-year-old Chinese woman who had become pregnant following in vitro fertilization and embryo transplantation. We wanted to determine the safest therapeutic strategy to terminate the PHMCF during the second trimester.
CASE SUMMARY In this case, we present a patient who was found to have a PHMCF complicated with serious continuous vaginal bleeding and pre-eclampsia during the second trimester. After careful evaluation, the pregnancy was considered to be unsustainable and was terminated via caesarean section (CS). An infant with weak vital signs and a partially cystic placenta measuring 110 mm × 95 mm × 35 mm were delivered by CS. The patient was discharged after 4 d. The serum levels of β-human chorionic gonadotropin decreased to within a normal range 5 wk after the operation, and no evidence of persistent trophoblastic disease or lung metastases was noticed at the 6-mo follow-up.
CONCLUSION CS termination of PHMCF during the second trimester may be a relatively safe therapeutic strategy.
