The co-existence of hydatiform mole with living fetus is a rare phenomenon with an incidence of 1 in 22 000 to 1 in 100 000 pregnancies it is a rare situation and a challenge for diagnosis. Results related to fetal outcome and maternal risk of subsequent gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) are controversial. Our objective is to investigate the clinical features and natural history of twin conceptions consisting of complete hydatidiform mole and a coexisting fetus.
