title: Discrepancy in the diagnoses of hydatidiform mole by macroscopic and microscopic findings and the deoxyribonucleic acid fingerprint method.
abstract: Ten cases of hydatidiform mole were analyzed by the deoxyribonucleic acid fingerprint method. Deoxyribonucleic acid samples were prepared from hydatidiform mole tissue of hydatidiform mole and maternal and paternal blood. A case of partial hydatidiform mole diagnosed by histologic findings was revealed to be complete hydatidiform mole by deoxyribonucleic acid fingerprinting.
