Gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTDs) are usually seen in women of reproductive age, but rarely, they can also be observed in postmenopausal women. In a postmenopausal woman presenting with abnormal vaginal bleeding, the differential diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease using histopathological, clinical, and radiological methods is important to prevent delays in treatment. A 50-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with complaints of abnormal vaginal bleeding. Ultrasound imaging revealed a mass lesion in the endometrial cavity consistent with a molar pregnancy. Furthermore, the biochemical value of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (B-HCG) was 353,761 IU/L, supporting the diagnosis. For further evaluation, the patient underwent computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Additional imaging supported the diagnosis. Based on these results, the patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Pathology results confirmed a complete molar pregnancy. In this case report, we present the clinical and radiological approach in the differential diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease in a 50-year-old female patient.
妊娠滋养细胞疾病(GTDs)通常见于育龄期女性,但在绝经后女性中也很少见。对于出现异常阴道出血的绝经后女性,采用组织病理学、临床和放射学方法对妊娠滋养细胞疾病进行鉴别诊断,对于防止治疗延误很重要。一名50岁女性患者因异常阴道出血主诉前来我院就诊。超声检查显示子宫内膜腔内有一肿块病变,符合葡萄胎妊娠。此外,β-人绒毛膜促性腺激素(B-HCG)的生化值为353761 IU/L,支持该诊断。为进一步评估,患者接受了计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像检查。额外的影像学检查支持该诊断。基于这些结果,患者接受了全腹子宫切除术及双侧输卵管卵巢切除术。病理结果证实为完全性葡萄胎妊娠。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名50岁女性患者妊娠滋养细胞疾病鉴别诊断中的临床和放射学方法。
