A hydatidiform mole, or a molar pregnancy, is a benign proliferative growth of
s s s s s s s s s s s s
the chorionic villi, which gives rise to multiple cysts. The products of
s s s s s s s s s s s s
conception transform into a large number of edematous, fluid-filled vesicles. As
s s s s s s s s s s s
cells slough off the uterine wall, vaginal discharge is usually dark brown and

can contain grapelike clusters.
