Gestational
trophoblastic Disease |
Clinical Manifestations | Incidence | Risk Factors | Cellular Origin |
---|---|---|---|---|
Choriocarcinoma | Irregular vaginal bleeding, cough, hemoptysis, headache,
vomiting, convulsions, purple blue vaginal nodules, enlarged uterus, ovarian flavin cyst, intraperitoneal hemorrhage, high hCG levels |
1 in 40,000
pregnancies |
Age, deep myometrial invasion,
tumor size, molar pregnancy, smoking, spontaneous miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, site of metastases, disease duration, hCG level, stage |
Villous trophoblast |
Hydatidiform mole
(complete) |
Karyotype of 46XX, 46XY, diffuse villous enlargement with
hydropic changes. varying atypia of trophoblast, absence of fetal tissue and villous capillaries, uterine enlarge , high hCG levels for gestational age, hypertension and hyperemesis gravidarum, abnormal bleeding, ovarian theca lutein cysts |
0.57–1.1 per 1000
pregnancies |
Age, ethnicity, and genetic basis,
spontaneous miscarriage, nutrient, family history |
Villous trophoblast |
Hydatidiform mole
(partial) |
Karyotype of 69XXX, 69XXY or 69XYY,
placental villi are focal edema and denatured that vary in size and shape, trophoblastic cells proliferate, fetal tissue is present, few full-term babies born, uteri are small for gestational age, low hCG level for gestational age, few medical complications |
0.57–1.1 per 1000
pregnancies |
Age, ethnicity, and genetic basis,
spontaneous miscarriage, nutrient status, family history |
Villous trophoblast |
Epithelioid
trophoblastic tumor |
Abnormal vaginal bleeding | 1 in 100,000
pregnancies |
Stage, family history, deep
invasion, tumor size |
Intermediate trophoblast |
Placental site
trophoblastic tumor |
Abnormal vaginal bleeding, trophoblastic infiltration confined
to the endometrium and myometrium, hCG may be absent, resistant to chemotherapy |
