Overview
In 6th century, Aetius of Amida, a physician at Justinian's court came up with the term 'hydatid'. Next mention of 'mole' is from 1276 when Margaret, Countess of Henneberg, delivered approximately 300 babies on Good Friday (the Friday before Easter Sunday). In 1827, Marie Anne Victoire Boivin, a Parisian midwife, proposed her findings of this condition in 'Nouvelles Recherches de la Mole Visiculaire' (News Searches of the Vesicular Mole). In 1840, William Wilton reported a case of invasive mole that was complicated by uterine perforation and fatal internal hemorrhage. In 1867, Richard von Volkmann, a German surgeon, also described a lesion resembling an invasive mole.
