Scope note: Grupo de enfermedades trofoblásticas que surgen en relación con el embarazo y se asocian habitualmente a hiperplasia del trofoblasto (TROFOBLASTO) y cifras marcadamente elevadas de GONADOTROPINA CORIÓNICA. Comprenden la MOLA HIDATIFORME, la mola invasiva (MOLA HIDATIFORME INVASIVA), el TUMOR TROFOBLÁSTICO DE SITIO PLACENTARIO y el CORIOCARCINOMA. Estas neoplasias tienen diversa propensión a la invasión y la diseminación.

Scope note: A group of diseases arising from pregnancy that 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.

Gestational Trophoblastic Disease - Preferred
Concept UI M0398989
Scope note A group of diseases arising from pregnancy that 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.

Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia - Narrower
Concept UI M0553821
Scope note Gestational Trophoblastic diseases that are malignant. It does not include HYDATIDIFORM MOLE. However, there is a minority of authors that consider the term gestational trophoblastic neoplasia synonymous with gestational trophoblastic disease.
