Abstract
Introduction: Partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) is one of the gestational trophoblastic diseases characterized by cystic transformation of chorionic villi, retaining recognizable placental morphology, and an amniotic cavity with a fetus. Its incidence is approximately 3 per 1000 pregnancies. Symptomatology is marked by the occurrence of metrorrhagia following amenorrhea, most commonly in the first trimester and rarely in the second trimester.
Case Report: We present a case of threatened premature delivery complicated by hemorrhagic shock, revealing a partial hydatidiform mole at 23 weeks of gestation. The diagnosis of PHM in the context of such clinical presentation underscores the importance of recognizing this rare entity early in pregnancy to facilitate appropriate management and optimize maternal and fetal outcomes.
Conclusion: The provided text has already been divided into the Introduction, Case Report, and Conclusion sections as outlined above.
