The marked proliferation of trophoblastic cells is one of the characteristics that determines high risk for the occurrence of post-hydatidiform mole malignancy. The objective of the study was to analyze the histopathologic feature of the marked proliferation of trophoblastic cells as a role in post-hydatidiform mole malignancy that can be used as a determinant of the risk of malignancy post-hydatidiform mole.Methods: The method of the study was analytical observational with a case–control study design. The data were taken retrospectively from medical records of patients with a post-complete hydatidiform mole malignancy and patients who do not develop post-complete hydatidiform mole malignancy (n = 34). The study took place in the Department of Anatomical Pathology Laboratorium at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia.Results: The results showed a highly significant difference with the histopathologic characteristics of marked trophoblastic cell proliferation in post-complete hydatidiform mole malignancy, reaching up to 73.5%. In contrast, the difference between those who do not develop malignancy was 11.8%. The odds ratio (OR) was 20.83, with an interpretation that patients with a complete hydatidiform mole with the histopathological feature of marked trophoblastic cell proliferation had a risk of developing into malignancy 20.83 times higher compared to cases without marked trophoblastic cell proliferation.Conclusion: The conclusion of the study was there is a significant correlation between marked trophoblastic cell proliferation with the incidence of post-complete hydatidiform mole malignancy.Keywords: post-complete hydatidiform mole malignancy, histopathologic trophoblastic cells, cells proliferation |
