Overview

Complete hydatidiform mole arises when an ovum without maternal chromosomes is fertilized by one sperm which duplicates its DNA, resulting in a 46XX androgenetic karyotype. Partial hydatidiform moles are almost always triploid, resulting from the fertilization of a healthy ovum by two sperms. Abnormal trophoblastic population undergoing hyperplasia and anaplasia can give rise to choriocarcinoma. Gestational type choriocarcinoma arises following a hydatidiform mole, normal pregnancy, or most commonly, abortion. Non-gestational type choriocarcinoma arises from pluripotent germ cells. Placental-site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) arises from the placental implantation site when the trophoblastic cells infiltrate the myometrium. Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) arises from the intermediate trophoblastic cells of chorion laeve.

Causes

The causality of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia based on the sub-types is as follows:

Invasive mole

Choriocarcinoma

Placental-site Trophoblastic Tumor (PSTT)

Epithelioid Trophoblastic Tumor (ETT)
