Abstract

Key Clinical Message: Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) occurs in about 1 in 5000 pregnancies. The differential diagnosis between PMD and partial mole is difficult on ultrasound scan, and karyotyping plays a key role in distinguishing PMD from partial mole. Our report is the first to report on the discordancy for PMD in a monochorionic setting. Abstract : Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) occurs in about 1 in 5000 pregnancies.
