Gestational trophoblastic disease
Gestational trophoblastic disease, usually referred to as a mole, is a very rare abnormality of pregnancy in the reproductive female that involves abnormal trophoblast proliferation.It is the result of a (purely chance) genetic error during the fertilization process that in turn causes the growth of abnormal tissue (which is not an embryo) within the uterus. The growth of this material is disproportionately rapid when compared to normal fetal growth.
