Use of sonar in diagnosis and management of invasive gestational trophoblastic tumors. 1974

W S Tsai

Use of sonar in differential diagnosis between normal and molar pregnancies is well established. In this study, invasive trophoblastic tumors were investigated. Intrauterine masses were demonstrated sonographically in all 4 cases, As well as H.C.G. assay and chest X-ray, sonographic follow-up also seems to be of value in evaluating the effectiveness of the chemotherapy.

D006828	Hydatidiform Mole	Trophoblastic hyperplasia associated with normal gestation, or molar pregnancy. It is characterized by the swelling of the CHORIONIC VILLI and elevated human CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN. Hydatidiform moles or molar pregnancy may be categorized as complete or partial based on their gross morphology, histopathology, and karyotype.

D014328	Trophoblastic Neoplasms	Trophoblastic growth, which may be gestational or nongestational in origin. Trophoblastic neoplasia resulting from pregnancy is often described as gestational trophoblastic disease to distinguish it from germ cell tumors which frequently show trophoblastic elements, and from the trophoblastic differentiation which sometimes occurs in a wide variety of epithelial cancers. Gestational trophoblastic growth has several forms, including HYDATIDIFORM MOLE and CHORIOCARCINOMA.
