| Popis: | Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a rare neoplasm and is a spectrum of proliferative disorders of placenta. Invasive mole is a subtype of GTN that almost always arises after molar pregnancy. This report presents a 35-year-old woman with an atypical presentation of invasive mole after a normal pregnancy. The patient presented with a complaint of vaginal bleeding after normal vaginal delivery. Invasive mole was diagnosed based on findings of imaging and elevated beta human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-hCG) levels. Hysterectomy was finally decided upon due to severe vaginal bleeding and the patient’s request. Although GTN occurs after normal delivery, the patient recovered without receiving chemotherapy. It is important to consider all subtypes of GTN as a differential diagnosis of patients with abnormal postpartum bleeding and elevated ß-hCG levels even after a normal pregnancy. |
