Case report reveals effective management of cervical ectopic pregnancy with chemotherapy in a 48-year-old woman, suggesting the need for timely diagnosis.
Hydatid form molar pregnancy in the cervix is extremely uncommon but can be fatal with incorrect diagnosis or delayed treatment. We review diagnostic approaches and evaluate treatment modalities in light of increasing awareness of the condition and the therapeutic challenges it presents. Chemotherapy—single or multiple agents depending on stage and score is the standard of care, while hysterectomy remains an option for patients who do not desire fertility. A 48-year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain after amenorrhea. Transvaginal ultrasound identified a cervical cystic lesion, and histopathology confirmed an invasive cervical partial mole. Dilatation and curettage were performed, and serial β hCG measurements revealed a steady decline without the need for methotrexate or adjuvant chemotherapy. Due to limited early surveillance, morbidity was increased. The patient was successfully managed and remained disease free thereafter.
