- Abstract
Gestational trophoblastic disease encompasses several entities derived from the proliferation of various types of trophoblast, following normal or abnormal fertilization. They differ genetically, have different pathologic features, and have distinctive clinical behavior and prognosis. Gestational trophoblastic disease includes the hydatidiform moles (complete and partial hydatidiform mole) and the trophoblastic tumours (invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumour and epithelioid trophoblastic tumour). Accurate pathological diagnosis is essential for optimal management of patients. The recent development of ancillary techniques helps to refine the diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease. Immunochemistry is now routinely performed, while analysis of ploidy and molecular genotyping are reserved to specialized laboratories.
