Abstract
Abdominal molegraphy was used to examine 31 patients suspected of vesicular mole. There was 96.4 per cent accuracy in 27 cases of mole including one case of vesicular mole with pregnancy. 3 cases turned out to be intrauterine pregnancy, 2 of which aborted but one had a normal full time delivery. One was a case of retained placenta after abortion. When the vesicles are outlined with the radio opaque substance in molegraphy and gives a typical picture it offers a specific and final diagnosis of hydatidifrom mole. Molegraphy is definitely an accurate means for the diagnosis of hydatidiform mole in places where the highly sophisticated methods of diagnosis like Sonar and different hormonal assays are not readily available.
