- The most common location for an ectopic pregnancy to occur is the fallopian tube.
Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD)
- The condition results in the production of fluid-filled grape-like clusters and vast proliferation of trophoblastic tissues.
- The management approach for GTD if immediate evacuation is not possible involves close monitoring and administration of chemotherapy.
- The characteristic manifestation of a complete mole in GTD is a uterus that is larger than expected for the gestational age.
