A. A two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound scan shows a uterus filled with heterogeneous echogenic material. B. A 2D ultrasound scan with color Doppler shows a fetus of a gestational age of 14 weeks and a molar aspect of the placenta

A. A three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound using HDlive rendering mode shows a molar pregnancy (*). B. A 3D ultrasound with HDlive showing a fetus with a gestational age of 14 weeks (arrow) and molar degeneration (*)

A. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; coronal T1-weighted image) shows placental molar degeneration (*) and the fetus (arrow). B. MRI (coronal T2-weighted image) shows placental molar degeneration (*) and the fetus (arrow). C. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction from a T2-weighted true FISP sequence (coronal view) showing placental molar degeneration (*) and the fetus (arrow). D. An MRI (axial T2-weighted image) scan shows placental molar degeneration (*) and the fetus (arrow)
Fig. 4
The material removed from the vagina, with macroscopy compatible with the diagnosis of a complete hydatidiform mole
Fig. 5
Macroscopy of a twin molar pregnancy. We observed a fertilized ovum represented by normal gestation and another ovum represented by a molar placenta without a conceptual product and appendices, suggesting a complete hydatidiform mole
Fig. 6
Photomicrography compatible with a complete hydatidiform mole at different magnifications, compatible with a total absence of p57kip2 (Neomarkers, Fremont, CA, USA) expression in villous stromal cells and the cytotrophoblast, which are a product of diandry
