| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Gestational trophoblastic disease''', usually referred to as a mole, is a very rare abnormality of [[pregnancy]] in the [[reproduction|reproductive]] [[female]] that involves abnormal [[trophoblast]] proliferation.
| |
|
| |
| ==Classification==
| |
| There are profound differences in pathological morphology and clinical behavior in various forms of GTD. Types include:
| |
|
| |
| * Abnormal placenta, mostly due to abnormal fertilization
| |
| ** [[Hydatidiform mole]] (HM)
| |
| * Frank malignant tumors of trophoblast
| |
| ** Invasive mole, [[choriocarcinoma]] (CCA)
| |
| ** Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT)
| |
| ** Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT)
| |
| * Not true neoplasms, representing abnormally formed placentas
| |
| ** Exaggerated placenta site (EPS)
| |
| ** Placental site nodule (PSN)
| |
|
| |
| ==Pathophysiology==
| |
| It is the result of a (purely chance) [[genetics|genetic]] error during the [[fertilization]] process that in turn causes the growth of abnormal tissue (which is not an [[embryo]]) within the [[uterus]]. The growth of this material is disproportionately rapid when compared to normal fetal growth.
