Abstract :
Hydatidiform moles are abnormal gestations characterized by the presence of hydropic changes
affecting some or all of the placental villi. Hydatidiform moles arise as a result of the fertilization
of an abnormal ovum. In this report, the patient was a 29 year old Asian woman who had induction
of ovulation with letrozol. Since the majority of molar gestations arise within the uterine cavity
thus the occurrence of a hydatidiform mole within ectopic gestational tissue is rare. It is important
to differentiate a hydatidiform mole from a conventional ectopic pregnancy, particularly in infertile
women who have a history of ovulation induction.
