Clinicopathologic Features
HYDATIDIFORM MOLE Feature Partial Complete
An abnormal placenta characterized by Karyotype 69 XXX/69 46,X or 46,
edematous and vesicular chorionic villi XXY XY
accompanied by variable amount of Fetus Often present Absent
proliferative trophoblasts Amnion, RBC Usually Absent
Subtypes: present
o Complete Villous edema Variable Focal, diffuse
o Partial Trophoblastic Focal, slight Diffuse, slight
proliferation to moderate to severe
Risk factors Diagnosis Missed Molar
