| description | Key Clinical Message Timely prenatal diagnosis, regular checkups, and comprehensive counseling are vital in preventing and managing complications in high‐risk pregnancies like partial molar pregnancy with hydrops fetalis. Abstract A live singleton fetus with partial molar pregnancy is a rare condition. We report a case of partial mole with hydrops fetalis causing intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) in the third trimester. Our case involves a 20‐year primigravid without prior antenatal checkups who presented to outpatient department at 31 weeks and 5 days of gestation with lower abdominal pain, backache, vaginal spotting, and decreased fetal movement. Ultrasound revealed partial mole, hydrops fetalis, and IUFD. The patient underwent induced delivery expelling a 1900 gm female fetus with no viability and a placenta containing 650 gm of molar tissue. Placental tissue with cystic component was confirmed as molar tissue by histopathological examination. She was discharged a few days afterward and had undetectable beta‐human chorionic gonadotropin levels after a month. Prenatal diagnosis, counseling, rigorous antepartum surveillance, and appropriate postpartum follow‐up are essential for the best possible mother and fetal outcomes. |
