Hydatidiform mole after in-vitro fertilization: a case report

A 25 year old patient was accepted on the in-vitro fertilization programme at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town and her first IVF cycle resulted in a pregnancy. The patient did not return to the usual follow-up ultrasound until about 4 months after the embryo transfer when an ultrasound revealed the typical picture of a molar pregnancy which was confirmed by histology after evacuation.
