Molar pregnancy is a rare condition where the uterus is filled with grape-like sacs instead of a fetus and placenta. The condition requires ultrasound for diagnosis and a D&C for treatment.

molar pregnancy is a rare condition where a tumor develops in place of the embryo. One of the early symptoms is being very large for dates in early pregnancy. Surgery is required to remove the growth and monthly check-ups for a year or more are needed to ensure the mole does not redevelop. Pregnancy is not recommended for 1 year after a molar pregnancy. Occurrence of a mole slightly increases future risk of uterine cancer.
