Abstract

Accurate diagnosis and sub-classification of hydatidiform moles (HM) and distinction from non-molar (NM) gestations is important, since risk of persistent gestational trophoblastic disease (pGTD) and therefore clinical management differ. P57KIP2 immunostaining has been widely described as an ancillary test to distinguish complete (CHM) and partial (PHM) hydatidiform moles, but cannot discern PHM from non-molar gestations (NM) or identify androgenetic vs biparental CHM, which may be associated with increased recurrence risk. Molecular genotyping (MG) is the gold-standard in these scenarios and also in cases with aberrant/discordant p57KIP2 expression, following which, CHM, PHM and NM can be reliably diagnosed.
