Abstract

The incidence of hydatidiform mole is 1 per 1000 pregnancies. The occurrence of hydatidiform mole in ruptured tubal pregnancy is very rare. We report an unusual case of molar pregnancy in the right fallopian tube which presented as an adherent adnexal mass. The present case conveys the importance of histological examination of products of conception which helps the pathologist to provide an appropriate diagnosis, thereby the clinician can offer appropriate counseling and follow up to the patient.

Keywords: Fallopian tube; Gestational trophoblastic disease; Hydatidiform mole.
