Abstract

p57 immunostaining significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy and reduces ambiguity in differentiating complete from partial HM. Incorporation of p57 evaluation alongside histopathology is recommended for reliable subclassification of HM.

Key Points

• Immunostaining of p57 significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy, especially in hydatidiform moles.
• Using p57 helps differentiate between complete and partial hydatidiform moles effectively.
• Incorporation of p57 in histopathology leads to more reliable subclassification of hydatidiform moles.
• This highlights the potential for better diagnostic practices in gynecological pathology.
