Abstract
A case of partial hydatidiform mole was admitted with hyperemesis gravidarum, human chorionic gonadotrophine was at high level. Ultrasonographic study showed the empty gestational sac with enlarged placenta which had cystic change in some area. The histologic study showed only hydatidiform mole but chromosome study confirmed classical partial hydatidiform mole which had a triploid (69 XXY) constitution.
The clinical findings, ultrasound study and HCG level can emphasize this condition. Histologic and genetic study will confirm the diagnosis.
