title: A case report of complete mole with co-existent exaggerated placental site reaction and review of the literature.
abstract: Exaggerated placental site (EPS) is defined as a non-neoplastic trophoblastic lesion, which intermediate trophoblasts infiltrate exaggeratedly into endometrium and myometrium. These lesions may occur following normal pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, abortus or molar pregnancy. Herein we share a case of EPS detected after evacuation due to molar pregnancy. We also review the related literature, where only a few reports exist describing the clinical course, histopathology and differential diagnosis of EPS.
