A Case of Invasive Mole Initially Presenting with Symptoms of Brain Metastasis
Abstract
- Invasive mole is a malignant form of hydatidiform mole and can be seen occasionally. It invades the myometrium, adjacent structures and metastasizes distantly. It can initially appear with symptoms of the respiratory, genitourinary system, or rarely intraperitoneal hemorrhage. However, reports of invasive mole initially presenting symptom of brain metastasis is rare and is occasionally found at autopsy. We report a case of invasive mole which had metastasized to the brain and lung and initially presented with symptoms of brain metastasis.
