INCIDENCE OF GESTATIONAL TROPHOBLASTIC DISEASE IN RANGPUR, BANGLADESH
Keywords:
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), Hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinomaAbstract
OBJECTIVE : To find out the incidence of hydatidiform mole in Rangpur, Northwest region of Bangladesh.
METHODS : We performed obstetric ultrasonography amongst 519 pregnant women in Rangpur during July 2001 to April 2002. We used 3.5 Mega-Hertz frequency linear/ curvilinear transducers of: Siemens sonoline SL 2, Fukuda 3500, Pie Medical 480/485 Scanners. Histopathology and hormone assays were done in selected cases.
RESULTS : We found 11 csses of vesicular mole among this series which is quite high (1 in 47 pregnancies), as in Caucasians it is very low e.g. | in 3000, in U.S.A. it is 1 in 1200 to 2000, in France 1 in 500, in some Indonesian hospital more than | in 100 pregnancies.
CONCLUSIONS : Sonography is a cheap and safe initial screening test for gestational SEPT. - DEC. 2003 Volume LX Number III trophoblastic diseases.
