[Diagnosis and treatment of ectopic molar pregnancy].
OBJECTIVE
To summerize the experience in the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic molar pregnancy.


METHODS
Clinical data of 3 cases of women with ectopic hydatidiform mole in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were analyzed retrospectively.


RESULTS
The clinical characteritics of ectopic molar pregnancy depend upon the site of the disease. It can be metastasized distantly in early stage. Digital subtraction angiography, colour ultrosound and laparotomy may play very important roles in the diagnosis of ectopic molar pregnancy. Regular chemotherapy and resection of drug-resistant focus are still the main methods of treatment.


CONCLUSIONS
Prophylactic chemotherapy for ectopic molar pregnancy should be emphasized. It is very important to make an early diagnosis of malignant metastasis and to give a regular treatment for the patients.
