Abstract
- We present an unusual case in which a patient was diagnosed with the preeclampsia associated with a partial hydatidiform mole and bilateral theca-lutein cysts. The patient newly developed proteinuric hypertension at 16 weeks' gestation. Ultrasound findings showed small multiple cystic spaces in the placenta and a live singleton fetus. Triploid 69, XXX was confirmed at karyotype analysis. Intrauterine fetal death was found at 18 weeks' gestation and termination of pregnancy was performed, and a partial hydatidiform mole was confirmed at pathologic examination. Torsion of bilateral theca-lutein cysts was developed at postpartum one week. Detorsion and aspiration of the bilateral theca-lutein cysts were performed under the laparoscopy.
