Complete Hydatidiform Mole
Definition 1
A gestational trophoblastic disorder in which there is no embryo or normal placental tissue and the chorionic villi are hydropic. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
Derived from the fertilization of an anuclear ovum by one or sometimes two haploid sperm. Its molar chromosomes derive entirely from the paternal origin. It has no identifiable embryonic or fetal tissue. The chorionic villi have generalized swelling and diffuse trophoblastic hyperplasia. Most complete moles (>90%) have a 46,XX karyotype and the rest 46,XY karyotype. (NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
