RESUMO
Gestational trophoblastic disease encompasses a range of lesions, each culminating in varied clinical manifestations. Among these, the simultaneous occurrence of molar changes within the placenta and a viable fetus remains a particularly elusive and challenging presentation, posing intricate dilemmas for obstetricians. In this article, we delineate a distinct case involving a 21-year-old woman with a history of consanguineous marriage. She was referred from Médecins Sans Frontières to the Rafic Hariri University Hospital during her 19th week of gestation. With an unremarkable medical history and uncomplicated previous pregnancies, her presentation to the Rafic Hariri University Hospital was punctuated by symptoms of premature labor. Clinical evaluations revealed ruptured membranes, a fetus-positioned breech, and discernible complications tied to the placental morphology. Given these clinical findings, a decision was made in favor of a Cesarean delivery. Prior to this, the patient had been administered corticosteroids and tocolytics. Subsequent delivery produced a live male infant at 34 + 5 gestational days, and further assessment unveiled a complete molar pregnancy. The coexistence of a viable fetus alongside a complete molar pregnancy is an infrequently documented phenomenon, underlining the clinical significance of this case. A comprehensive literature survey reinforced the exceptional nature of our findings. Postpartum, both the mother and neonate were monitored for a month, ensuring their well-being. This case accentuates the paramountcy of prompt and precise diagnostic interventions when faced with atypical presentations. It further underscores the imperative for obstetricians to possess nuanced expertise in confronting the intricate challenges posed by gestational trophoblastic disease, ensuring optimal maternal and neonatal outcomes.
