Habitual complete molar pregnancy: a case report.

Gestational trophoblastic disease is rare in industrialized countries. Rarer still are recurrent or habitual molar pregnancies. A rare case of hydatidiform mole occurring seven times consecutively without a normal pregnancy in an Egyptian woman is presented. She was first seen with her first molar pregnancy in 1994 at the age of 21 years. Subsequently, she had six consecutive molar pregnancies. The last was in October 1999; it was followed by a gestational trophoblastic disease. Each molar pregnancy was diagnosed ultrasonographically and confirmed by histopathological examination. Management of such patients is problematic especially when there is a desire for future childbearing.
