Abstract

Hydatidiform mole is a form of gestational trophoblastic disease characterized by the proliferation of abnormal trophoblastic tissue within the uterine cavity, typically presenting with symptoms such as abnormal bleeding and uterine enlargement. The condition is commonly associated with the formation of a mass of hydropic villi. However, the localization of a hydatidiform mole in the vaginal area is an extremely rare phenomenon, and its atypical presentation can pose significant diagnostic challenges.
In this report, we describe a case involving a woman who presented with severe metrorrhagia. Diagnostic imaging, including transabdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), was essential in detecting the rare vaginal mass. The imaging findings guided further investigation, and histological analysis was ultimately performed to confirm the presence of a hydatidiform mole. This case underscores the importance of thorough evaluation using advanced imaging techniques in the diagnosis of rare manifestations of hydatidiform mole.
