==Hydropic abortus== | |||
===General=== | |||
*May be seen in the context of a previously detected fetal heart beat. | |||
===Microsopic=== | |||
Features: | |||
*Enlarged chorionic villi with some cisterns. | |||

*Molar pregnancy. | |||
<pre> | |||
Submitted as "Retained Products of Conception": | |||
- Small and large chorionic villi with cisterns, suggestive of hydropic abortus, see comment. | |||
- Benign scant decidual tissue present. | |||
- Negative for evidence of fetal tissue in sampled tissue, see comment. | |||
Comment: | |||
Imaging previously described a gestational sac and a fetal heart beat. | |||
