Partial moles with maze-like vascular anomaly

APMIS. 1994 Aug;102(8):638-40. doi: 10.1111/j.1699-0463.1994.tb05214.x.

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.
