Definition : A group of interrelated trophoblastic diseases arising from pregnancy. They are commonly
associated with hyperplasia of trophoblasts (trophoblast) and markedly elevated human
chorionic gonadotropin. They include hydatidiform mole, invasive mole (hydatidiform
mole, invasive), placental-site trophoblastic tumor (trophoblastIC TUMOR, placental
site), and choriocarcinoma. These neoplasms have varying propensities for invasion
and spread. [MeSH];
