Dunn OB/GYN VI Flashcards
heavy bleeding and terrible nausea/vomiting
previous vaginal births
miscarriage
tissue at cervical os
enlarged ovary
ultrasound - snowstorm
very high HCG**
gestational trophoblastic neoplasm
first trimester US
best for determining length of pregnancy
tx of gestational trophoblastic neoplasm
D and C
gestational trophoblastic disease
abnormal proliferation of trophoblast of placenta
benign non-neoplastic trophoblastic lesions
exaggerated placental site
placental site nodule
most common cause gestational trophoblastic disease
hydatidiform mole
-80%
complete, partial, and invasive
gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
GTN
- true neoplasia
- potential for invasion / mets
choriocarcinoma
placental site trophoblastic tumor
epithelioid trophoblastic tumor
curable 85-100% cases**
chorioadenoma sestruens
invasive hydatidiform mole
complete mole
46, XX
XY - if fertilized two sperm
all paternal chromosomes
haploid sperm fertilize empty ovum
no fetal tissue**
incomplete mole
69 XXY
fertilization of ovum with haploid maternal chromosome by two sperm
fetal tissue present**
maternal genes
fetal growth
paternal genes
placental growth
excess - trophoblastic grwoth
incidental finding on endometrial curettage or hysterectomy
benign nonneoplastic trophoblastic lesion
genomic imprinting
certain genes expressed in parent of origin specific manner
DNA methylation, histone mods
occurs in moles
- heterozygote - two sperm
- homozygote - duplicated DNA sperm
complete molar pregnancy
fertilization of empty ovum by two sperm or one duplicated sperm
can become choriocarcinoma
partial molar pregnancy
fertiliation of haploid ovum by two sperm or one duplicatd sperm
presence of fetal tissue
less likely malignant
molar pregnancy complications
most due to very high HCG levels
large overies hyperemesis gravidarum preeclampsia hyperthyroid hemorrhage
asian women and latin american countries
gestational trophoblastic disease
partial mole
less dangerous
small uterus for dates
complete mole
46 XX
no fetal tissue
large uterus for dates
risk fx for GTD
40yo
diet deficient in folate or beta carotene
