Molar Pregnancy

📋Overview

Molar pregnancy is a type of gestational trophoblastic disease where abnormal trophoblastic tissue grows within the uterus after fertilization. This condition is considered a nonviable pregnancy because the placenta develops into a collection of fluid-filled cysts rather than a functional organ.

Medical professionals categorize these occurrences as either complete or partial hydatidiform moles depending on the genetic makeup of the tissue. These developments represent a deviation from typical embryonic growth, resulting in a mass that cannot sustain a developing fetus.
