What is it about?
Molar pregnancies are part of a group of diseases classified as gestational trophoblastic diseases. For any woman of childbearing age presenting with abnormal vaginal bleeding, an hCG assay should always be carried out and, if elevated, a pelvic ultrasound should be performed.

Why is it important?
Non-molar pregnancy (normal intrauterine pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy and spontaneous abortion) is the most likely diagnosis, but hydatidiform mole should always be considered. Molar pregnancy is now diagnosed and managed earlier, thanks to the systematic use of ultrasound in all pregnant patients.
Perspectives
Hydatidiform mole is a rare gynecological disease of the trophoblast, which can be classified as a complete or incomplete mole pregnancy, with an incidence of between 0.6 and 11.5 per 1000 deliveries worldwide [1-3].
