Popis: Abstract Background Complete and partial moles (PM) are the most common gestational trophoblastic diseases. Due to some overlapping morphological findings, ancillary studies may be necessary. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 47 cases of complete mole (CM) and 40 cases of PM were randomly selected based on histopathological criteria. Only those cases that were agreed upon by two expert gynecological pathologists and confirmed by the P57 IHC study were included. The expression level of the Twist-1 marker in villi stromal cells, as well as syncytiotrophoblasts, was evaluated quantitatively (percentage of positive cells), qualitatively (staining intensity) and as a total comprehensive score. Results Expression of Twist-1 is higher and more intense in villous stromal cells of CMs (p
