摘要
BACKGROUND: Hydatidiform moles (HMs) usually are evacuated by dilation and curettage soon after diagnosis. A small percentage of HMs later progress to choriocarcinomas. CASE: A 20-year-old woman presented with signs and symptoms of an HM. Through poor medical care, noncompliance and misunderstanding, she delayed dilation and curettage for 3 months, until after the condition regressed spontaneously. CONCLUSION: HMs masquerading as miscarriages (or other pregnancy outcomes) may account for some rogue choriocarcinomas that do not appear to follow HMs.
