Gestational Trophoblastic Disease
• Hydatidiform mole
• Invasive mole• Choriocarcinoma• Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT)• Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ET)
![Page 5: Contemporary Diagnosis of Hydatidiform Mole](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021503/589060d01a28ab07798b9192/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Specific Diagnosis of Gestations With Hydropic Villi Important
• Need to differentiate among– Complete hydatidiform mole– Partial hydatidiform mole– Hydropic abortion
• Different diseases• Different prognosis• Different management
![Page 6: Contemporary Diagnosis of Hydatidiform Mole](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021503/589060d01a28ab07798b9192/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is adequate study of a POC Specimen?
• TAB– Probably reasonable to sign out on one
slide with normal villi• Spontaneous/missed abortion
– Must have a good view of villous morphology
– Suggest at least 2 slides with both fetal and maternal tissue
– One study found that it could require as many as 10 (!) slides to diagnose PM

Complete Mole
• Diploid• Androgenetic – all chromosomes are
paternal *• Loss of maternally expressed imprinted
transcripts, gain of paternally expressed imprinted transcripts
• 75-85% monospermic (46, XX)• 15-25% dispermic (46, XX or 46, XY)• Rare diploid biparental CHM *

Ultrasound Diagnosis of Mole
• Advanced cases of complete mole exhibit a characteristic vesicular pattern
• In early cases cannot differentiate between complete mole and degenerating villi of abortion
• Cystic villi in placenta and increased transverse diameter of gestational sac predict partial mole
• In one recent study only 34% of moles suspected on ultrasound (58% complete, 17% partial)

“Occasionally, the exuberance of the proliferating trophoblast taunts the pathologist into diagnosing choriocarcinoma. No matter how atypical the trophoblast is, nor how extensive the trophoblast hyperplasia, the presence of villous tissue, by definition, precludes a diagnosis of choriocarcinoma in a first or second-trimester placenta.

Diploid Biparental Complete Mole
• Very rare• Usually diagnosed when:
– A patient has recurrent CHM– There is a familial tendency for CHM
• Autosomal recessive inheritance• Mutations in a maternal gene involved in setting
imprints in the ovum– 80% in NLRP7, a maternal gene on chromosome 19q– 5% in C6orf221– 15% unknown

Can be similar to androgenetic CHM (top)
Can show less trophoblastic proliferation and budding (middle)
Shows loss of p57 staining

Partial Mole and Triploidy
• 64 of 832 specimens triploid (~8%)• 2/3 are diandric
– Half, or 1/3 total were partial moles– Most of the remainder showed some but
not all features of a partial mole.
• 1/3 are digynic– None suspicious for partial mole

Invasive Mole
• Persistent mole in which villi are:– Mainly in endometrium with early
invasion of myometrium (“accreta pattern”)
– Within myometrium, especially in blood vessels
– Penetrate to serosa– Spread beyond uterus (vagina, lungs)

How well do pathologists diagnose hydatidiform mole?
• Conran et al (AFIP, 1993)– Poor agreement with histology alone– Gross pathology data did not markedly improve
concordance– Good agreement when flow cytometric data available
• Crisp et al (Sheffield, 2003)– 40 cases; 2 revised on histology and 6 with special studies
(20%)• Fukunaga et al (5 placental pathology experts, 2005)
– Agreement of 4 or 5 in 30/50 cases – PHM vs HA main problem
– With ploidy data agree in 39/50 cases – still problems with some cases of CHM vs HA
• Vang et al (2012)– 80% accuracy for CHM with H&E, 96% with p57– 78% accuracy for PHM

Ancillary Studies in the Diagnosis of Hydatiform Mole
• Cytogenetics• FISH• Flow cytometry• Immunohistochemistry• Molecular genotyping

Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia
• In most patients treated for a mole, hCG returns to baseline within 60 days
• GTN is persistent or recurrent trophoblastic disease after treatment of a mole– 15-20 % after complete mole– 0.2-4 % after partial mole
• Most likely diagnoses are persistent mole, invasive mole or choriocarcinoma
• The clinician will treat the HCG titer and clinical features, not the diagnosis; a biopsy may not even be performed

Is There a Way to Further Increase Diagnostic Accuracy?
Molecular Genotyping for Accurate Diagnosis of Hydatidiform Moles
![Page 58: Contemporary Diagnosis of Hydatidiform Mole](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021503/589060d01a28ab07798b9192/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Molecular Genotyping for Diagnosis of Hydatidiform Mole• Same cost as flow cytometry but
faster turnaround• Provides ploidy data• Delineates parental source of
chromosomes– Dispermic vs monospermic– Diandric vs dygynic triploidy
• Pioneered at Charing Cross, Yale, Johns Hopkins
![Page 59: Contemporary Diagnosis of Hydatidiform Mole](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021503/589060d01a28ab07798b9192/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
DNA contains microsatellites or short tandem repeats (STRs)
• Short tandem repeats with repeating unit of 2-6 base pairs
• Distributed throughout the genome• Non-coding DNA• Heritable and stable• Number of repeats is polymorphic (many
different possible alleles at each locus)
![Page 60: Contemporary Diagnosis of Hydatidiform Mole](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021503/589060d01a28ab07798b9192/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

STR genotyping has many applications
• DNA fingerprinting for forensic cases• Paternity testing• Specimen Identity• Can apply this technology for the
diagnosis of hydatidiform moles

Each individual inherits 2 alleles at every STR locus
• The maternal and paternal alleles can sometimes be the same

Benefits of molecular genotyping
• Can determine parental origin of DNA which increases diagnostic accuracy (ex. Digynictriploidy)
• Can determine monospermic versus dispermicstatus of moles which has been reported to show different risk of GTD
• Can identify trisomies, which accounts for ~1/3 of hydropic abortuses
• Resolve p57 – morphology discrepancies• Cost-effective and faster turn-around time than
DNA ploidy send-out

Limitations of molecular genotyping
• Cannot identify familial cases of complete mole (biparental diploid). Thought to result from mutations in the NLRP7 gene on chromosome 19. Use p57 to diagnose, confirm biparental nature with genotyping.
• Cases from Donor Eggs present a diagnostic pitfall. Know clinical history.

Case 1Answer and Explanation
• The correct diagnosis is a dispermic complete hydatidiform mole.
• The D8S1179, D21S11, and CSF1PO STR loci all show paternal-only alleles that are not present in the endometrium. Furthermore, the D8S1179 and CSF1PO STR loci both show 2 different paternal alleles indicating dispermy.
• The D7S820 STR locus is non-informative.

Case 2 Answer and Explanation
• The correct diagnosis is a monospermiccomplete hydatidiform mole.
• The D19S433, vWA, and TPOX STR loci all show paternal-only alleles that are not present in the endometrium. All 4 STR loci show a homozygous single allele indicating monospermy.
• The D18S51 STR locus is non-informative.

Case 3Answer and Explanation
• The correct diagnosis is a monospermic partial hydatidiform mole.
• The paternal allele at each STR locus is roughly twice the height of the maternal allele, indicating a triploid genotype with 2 homozygous alleles coming from one sperm.
