Abstract
Two cases of combined maze-like vascular anomaly and partial mole are described. Immunohistochemical staining showed the abnormal vessels to be of endothelial origin. The vessels had been a functioning part of the fetal circulation. Both partial moles were triploid, and both were evacuated in the second trimester.
