Can hydatidiform mole metastasis to the lung be cured?

If a woman develops a hydatidiform mole during pregnancy, she must seek timely treatment. If not treated in time, it will cause great harm to human health. If a hydatidiform mole metastasizes to the lungs, it is mostly caused by malignant choriocarcinoma. Hydatidiform mole is very easy to recur, so it is necessary to find out the cause and keep a good mood at ordinary times to prevent the mood from affecting the condition and being detrimental to the body's recovery.

Can hydatidiform mole metastasis to the lung be cured?

If hydatidiform mole metastasis occurs, it may be caused by the malignant components of choriocarcinoma.

It is recommended to actively treat aborted hydatidiform mole, invasive hydatidiform mole and other fetuses to avoid the development of choriocarcinoma!

Hydatidiform mole is a trophoblastic disease. Trophoblastic disease was previously known as hydatidiform mole, malignant hydatidiform mole, and choriocarcinoma. Hydatidiform mole originates from the trophoblast of the embryo. As the villi become edematous and enlarged, blisters of varying sizes are formed, clustered together and connected by thin stalks, resembling grapes, hence the name hydatidiform mole. Overview of malignant hydatidiform mole: A hydatidiform mole is a pregnancy in which the blister-like tissue exceeds the uterine cavity, invades deep into the uterine myometrium, or metastasizes to other parts of the body. There is a 5% to 20% chance of a hydatidiform mole turning into a malignant hydatidiform mole or choriocarcinoma, most of which occur within 6 months after the hydatidiform mole is removed, but there are also cases where the hydatidiform mole turns into a malignant one before it is expelled. Although malignant hydatidiform mole has the characteristics of a malignant tumor, its treatment effect and prognosis are better than those of choriocarcinoma.

The etiology and pathology of malignant hydatidiform mole is that grape-like objects can be seen in the lesion with the naked eye. In some cases, grape-like objects cannot be seen, but villous structures are present under the microscope. Its infiltration ability is stronger than that of hydatidiform mole and it often invades the deep muscle layer. Occasionally, it may penetrate the uterine wall and cause perforation, and even infiltrate into surrounding tissues or metastasize to the lungs, vagina, etc.

Clinical manifestations of hydatidiform mole

1. Amenorrhea occurs because the grape system occurs in the trophoblast of the fertilized egg, so amenorrhea usually lasts for 2 to 3 months or longer.

Second, vaginal bleeding is a serious symptom and a manifestation of spontaneous abortion of hydatidiform mole. It usually starts 2 to 3 months after amenorrhea, and is mostly intermittent bleeding with small amounts of blood. However, there may be repeated heavy bleeding in the meantime. Upon careful examination, blisters may sometimes be found in the bleeding. Vaginal bleeding obviously comes from the uterus. In addition to flowing out of the vagina, some of it accumulates in the uterus; it may also accumulate completely in the uterus for a while, thereby prolonging the duration of amenorrhea.

3. Uterine enlargement. The uterus of most patients is larger than the pregnant uterus of the corresponding amenorrhea month. Many patients come to the hospital for treatment because of touching a mass in the lower abdomen (swollen uterus or lutein cyst). However, there are a few whose uterus matches the amenorrhea month or is even smaller than the amenorrhea month. There may be two situations: ① The chorionic vesicles degenerate into atrophy, stop developing, and form a retained hydatidiform mole; ② Some of the vesicular fetal masses have been discharged, causing the uterine body to shrink, resulting in incomplete abortion of the hydatidiform mole.

4. Abdominal pain is caused by the rapid enlargement of the uterus, or intrauterine bleeding, which stimulates uterine contraction and causes pain, which can be mild or severe.

5. Symptoms of pregnancy poisoning: About half of the patients may experience severe vomiting after menopause, and later they may develop hypertension, edema and proteinuria.

6. No fetus is visible. Before and after 8 weeks of amenorrhea, B-ultrasound monitoring showed no gestational sac, fetal heart rate or fetus. Even at 18 weeks of gestation, there was still no fetal movement or hearing, and the B-ultrasound scan showed snowflake-like images but no fetal image.
