The differential diagnosis of tubal pregnancy and early hydatidiform mole through pathology
Abstract：Objective To investigate the pathology method of early hydatidiform mole (HM) in tubal preg-nancy.Methods Specimens of 32 cases of tubal pregnancy were gotten for re-reading and obseving the changes of microscope, and the related literature were reviewed .Results In the 32 cases, 25 cases showed edema of partial vil-li, 10 cases showed central pool forming , 7 cases showed individual villus with the form of scallops , 5 cases showed schistose trophoblast cells with mild atypia in intervillous space , 2 cases showed trophoblast cells with mild atypia at planting site, 2 cases showed individual villus trophoblast cells wrapping villus lacy hyperplasia of trophoblast cells . Conclusion Tubal pregnancy could showed edema of villi , central pool formation, scallop-like villus, individual vil-lus wrapping villus lacy hyperplasia of trophoblast cells , trophoblast cells atypia , and just through light microscopic morphology alone it could easily be misdiagnosed as hydatidiform mole .To avoid the misdiagnosis , it should be nec-cessary to found other method of differential diagnosis on the basis of light microscopic observation .
