    Abstract:
    Hydatidiform mole with a coexistent fetus is rare, but this condition has recently shown an increased incidence because of assisted reproduction technology. Herein, we report on a case of triplet pregnancy with a partial hydatidiform mole coexisting with two fetuses. It was diagnosed by p57(kip2) immunohistochemical staining which is helpful in determining histologically equivocal cases. After termination of pregnancy, the patient was diagnosed with persistent gestational trophoblastic disease. Six courses of methotrexate chemotherapy were performed. Her beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin titers then fell to a normal level.
