persistent trophoblastic disease
In most molar pregnancies, any remaining abnormal tissue in the womb usually dies off. But in a small proportion of women, the tissue can remain and grow further into the lining of the womb and, like a cancer, spread to other areas of the body. Usually treated with chemo.
99
Choriocarcinoma
Choriocarcinoma is a very rare type of cancer that occurs in around 1 in 50,000 pregnancies. It can develop if the cells left behind after a pregnancy become cancerous. This can happen after any pregnancy, but it's more likely after molar pregnancies. Usually treated with chemo.
