Q

Complete hydatidiform mole

A

A gestational trophoblastic dz resulting from the abnormal fertilization of an empty ovum by either 2 sperm or single sperm that duplicates its genome upon fertilization
The resultant gestation is composed of abnormal, proliferative trophoblastic tissue that secretes markedly elevated b-hCG.
b-hCG causes hyperstimulation of the ovaries and hypertrophy and luteinization of the theca cells. The thecal cells secrete androgens, leading to acute hyperandrogenism
