A case of quadruplet pregnancy containing complete mole and three fetuses.
A case of a quadruplet pregnancy containing a complete mole and three fetuses is reported. A 29-year-old Japanese woman who had received clomiphene therapy was delivered of a complete mole, one dead and two living fetuses, and three placentas. Deoxyribonucleic acid fingerprint analysis proved the androgenesis of molar tissue and the trizygosity of the three fetuses.
