Over the last 30 years major advances have taken place in our understanding and management of gestational trophoblastic disease.

1- It is now possible to diagnose a mole by

ultrasonography in minutes .

2-It became the most curable gynec. malignancy.

3-βhCG has very important role in the diagnosis, evaluation and follow up of GTN

4- The cytogenetic profile has thrown

light on the etiology of the disease .

Hydatidiform Mole

(H. MOLE)=

Vesicular Mole

Page 8: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Hydatidiform Moles (H.M.)Hydatidiform moles are abnormal

pregnancies characterized histologically by :

Trophoblastic proliferation &Edema of the villous stroma (Hydropic) .

Based on the degree and extent of these tissue changes, hydatidiform moles are categorized as either

Complete hydatidiform mole.

Partial hydatidiform mole.

The classic features areIrregular vaginal bleeding

Hyperemesis

Excessive uterine enlargement &

Early failed pregnancy.

Clinicians should check a urine pregnancy test in women presenting with such symptoms.

RCOG Guideline No. 38 ; 2010

How Do Molar Pregnancies Present To The Clinician?

Some women will present early with passage of molar tissue

Page 28: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Rarer presentations include:Hyperthyroidism

Early onset pre-eclampsia

In most patients with a partial mole,

the clinical and U/S diagnosis is

Usually missed or incomplete abortion.

This emphasizes the need for a

thorough histopathologic evaluation of

all missed or incomplete abortions

Partial Molar Pregnancies

Page 41: Gtd mola hidatidosa

A 24-year-old 2nd Gravida ,Para 1 woman at 8 Ws

GA (Blood group: O, negative) complains of:

1-Worsening nausea, and vomiting over the last

2 weeks which is unlike her prior pregnancy .

2-Irregular vaginal bleeding over the last 7 days

She denies any abdominal or back cramps.

What does the differential diagnosis include for

this patient?

Case Scenario 1

Page 42: Gtd mola hidatidosa

The differential diagnosis of bleeding with early pregnancy and progressive vomiting are:

Multiple pregnancy.

Hydatidiform mole.

Threatened abortion.

Ectopic pregnancy.

What Does The Differential Diagnosis

Include For This Patient?

Page 43: Gtd mola hidatidosa

The most useful diagnostic test is :

U/S

Which Diagnostic Test Would Be Most Useful?

Page 44: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Complex intrauterine mass containing many small cysts (Snowstorm appearance)

 What is the most likely diagnosis?

Hydatidiform (Vesicular) mole

Page 45: Gtd mola hidatidosa

 What Would One Expect To See At Scan If Her Pregnancy Is Normal?

Gestational (Chorionic) Sac

Page 46: Gtd mola hidatidosa
Page 47: Gtd mola hidatidosa

 What Is The Ultrasonogaphic

Differential Diagnosis For This Case?

U/S DD :1-Missed

abortion

2-Degenerated fibroid

Page 48: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Differential Diagnosis: Long standing missed abortion

with cystic degeneration of the placenta

Then

1-What is the most likely diagnosis?

2-How can the patient be managed?

What Is The Recommended Subsequent Test ?

The B subunit hCG assay:

195,000 mlU/mL

Page 50: Gtd mola hidatidosa
Page 51: Gtd mola hidatidosa

1-What Is The Most Likely Diagnosis?

The snowstorm pattern on U/S&

The abnormally high hCG level

are diagnostic of

Vesicular Mole

Probably complete V. mole

Page 52: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Why It Is Probably Complete V. Mole?

It demonstrates the typical U/S appearance of complete V. mole :

a complex, echogenic intrauterine mass containing many small cystic spaces.

Fetal tissues and amnionic sac are absent

However the final differentiation is after histopathology.

Page 53: Gtd mola hidatidosa

There are 2 important basic lines :

1-Evacuation of the mole

2-Regular follow-up to detect

persistent trophoblastic disease

If both basic lines are done

appropriately, mortality rates can be

reduced to zero.

What Is The Plan of Management?

Page 54: Gtd mola hidatidosa

What Is The Best Method Of Evacuating This Molar Pregnancy?

A. Cervical priming with misoprostol then suction

evacuation

B. Suction evacuation to be repeated 1-2 weeks later

C. Single suction evacuation

D. Medical trial with misoprostol &oxytocine before

suction

C.

What Is The Evidence ?

Page 55: Gtd mola hidatidosa

The Management Of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

RCOG Guideline No. 38 ; 2010

What Is The Evidence ?

Page 56: Gtd mola hidatidosa

For Complete mole is: Suction curettage

Cervical preparation with prostaglandins or misoprostol , should be avoided to reduce the risk of embolisation (No sufficient studies)

RCOG Guideline No. 38 ; 2010

What Is The Best Method Of Evacuating A Molar Pregnancy?

Page 57: Gtd mola hidatidosa

For Partial mole: It depends on the fetal partsSmall fetal parts :Suction curettageLarge fetal parts: Medical (oxytocics)

In partial mole the oxytocics is safe ,as the hazard to embolise and disseminate trophoblastic tissue is very low

Also, the needing for chemotherapy is 0.1- 0.5%.

RCOG Guideline No. 38 ; 2010

Is That The Same For Partial Mole?

Page 58: Gtd mola hidatidosa

• The use of oxytocic infusion prior to completion of the evacuation is not recommended (fear of embolisation).

• If the woman is experiencing significant haemorrhage prior to evacuation, surgical evacuation should be expedited and the need for oxytocin infusion weighed up against the risk of tumour embolisation.

RCOG Guideline No. 38 ; 2010

Can Oxytocic Infusions Be Used During Surgical Evacuation?

Page 59: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Histological examination is indicated in:Failed pregnancies (missed or molar) :All medically or surgical managed cases

Products of conception, obtained after all repeat evacuations (post abortive or p.partum)

There is no need after therapeutic termination : provided that fetal parts is identified on U/S

RCOG Guideline No. 38 ; 2010

Should Products Of Conception Be Examined Histologically?

Page 60: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Return to Case Scenario 1

Suction curettage has been performed using 10mm canula under U/S guidance

10mm

Canula up to a maximum of 12 mm, is usually sufficient to evacuate all complete molar pregnancies.

The Molar Content For Histopathological Examination

Page 65: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Meticulous histopathological examination revealed: Villi have extensive stromal edemaAbnormal trophoblastic proliferation No embryonic or fetal tissue or RBCs

These findings are diagnostic of:Complete Hydatidiform Mole

Page 66: Gtd mola hidatidosa

The Case is Now Confirmed Histopathological As A Complete H. Mole What Is The Most Appropriate Management?

A- Surveillance :Weekly then monthly βhCG

B-Hysterectomy

C-Transvaginal U/S examination

D-Repeated curettage &Biopsy

E-Prompt chemotherapy

A.

Page 67: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Hysterectomy may be preferred to suction curettage at age ≥ 40 with no desire for further pregnancies especially with other risk factors for GTN as :

Large theca lutein cysts( >6 cm) Significant uterine enlargement Pretreatment βhCG ≥ 105. Although hysterectomy does not eliminate

possibility of GTN this, it markedly reduces its likelihood.

Prophylactic Chemotherapy: The long-term prognosis for women with a H. mole is not improved with prophylactic chemotherapy. Because toxicity—including death—may be significant, it is not recommended routinely *

It may be useful in the high-risk cases when follow-up are unavailable or unreliable. * *

Second Uterine Evacuation :There is no clinical indication for the routine use of second uterine evacuation

RCOG Guideline No. 38 ; 2010

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2004*

Page 71: Gtd mola hidatidosa

When Anti-D Is Required?

It is required in partial due to the

presence of fetal RBCs

In complete mole: if diagnosis is not

confirmed histopathologically

RCOG Guideline No. 38 ; 2010

Is Anti-D Prophylaxis Required For This Case?

No

Page 72: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Post-evacuation Surveillance

Why?

To determine when pregnancy

can be allowed

To detect persistent

trophoblastic disease (i.e. GTN)

Page 73: Gtd mola hidatidosa

A baseline serum β -hCG level is obtained within 48 hours after evacuation.

Levels are monitored every 1 to 2 weeks

while still elevated to detect persistent

trophoblastic disease (GTN).

These levels should progressively fall to an undetectable level (<5 mu/ml).

If symptoms are persistent, more frequent β hCG estimation and U/S examination ± D&C are advised

The Scenario case

At the 9 week follow up the β hCG level : 2u/L

Is this level sufficient to stop follow up ?

No

4-

Page 76: Gtd mola hidatidosa

A. For 6 months from the date of uterine

evacuation.

B. For 6 months from normalization of the β hCG

level.

C. For 12 months from the date of uterine

evacuation.

What Is The Optimum Follow-up Period Following Normalization of β hCG?

B

Page 77: Gtd mola hidatidosa

It depends upon when hCG has reverted to normal ≤ 56 days of the pregnancy event: Follow up is

6 months from the date of uterine evacuation. >56 days of the pregnancy event :Follow up is

6 months from normalization of the hCG level.

RCOG Guideline No. 38 ; 2010

What Is The Optimum Follow-up Period After Which Pregnancy Is Allowed?

At this period levels of βhCG are monitored every month

Practically once βhCG has normalized after molar evacuation, the possibility of GTN developing is very low.

Page 78: Gtd mola hidatidosa

Barrier methods until normal β hCG level.

Once βhCG level have normalized:Combined

oral contraceptive (COC ) pill may be used.

If oral COC was started before the diagnosis of

GTD ,COC can be continue as its potential to

increase risk of GTN is very low

IUCD should not be used until β hCG levels are

normal to reduce uterine perforation.

What Is Safe Contraception Following GTD?
