Cervical adeno-carcinoma and partial hydatidiform mole.
Partial hydatidiform mole was found in a 39-year-old grand-multiparous Jewish woman, having a polypoid cervical adeno-carcinoma. The patient was treated by surgery followed by internal and external pelvic irradiation, with excellent results. Four and a half years after the initial diagnosis she is very well. This is the first reported case of a rare combination. The literature regarding the association between pregnancy and cervical malignancies is reviewed briefly and the possible pathogenetic relationship between hydatidiform mole and carcinoma of the cervix is discussed.
