Hydatidiform mole

The incidence of hydatidiform mole accounts for about one-thousandth of the total number of pregnancy. The most common occurs in women who are pregnant after the age of 40, especially menopausal women. Hydatidiform mole disappears from the villi matrix microvessels, resulting in villous matrix effusion and formation of size. It does not wait for bubbles and looks like grapes. There are complete partiality, most of which are complete hydatidiform moles. Clinically diagnosed hydatidiform moles refer to complete hydatidiform moles; partial hydatidiform moles are associated with placental tissues and / or fetuses. 40% of patients with spontaneous abortion were found to have some vesicular-like degeneration, but hydatidiform mole was not diagnosed.
