About 2 months ago, I examined a primigravida 36 years old woman.

She had 10 days delayed of menses.

On ultrasound I saw an embryo with positive heart beat and CRL: 5mm.

There was a strange round solid mass in the coelomic space 10mm in diameter.

It was looking something like a polyp. I also thought about possible partial mole.

I am sure that this 'polyp' were into the sac. It was covered by the trophoblast.

As the patient had already decided to do an elective abortion, D&C was performed.

Even the pathologist were aware for the case, he could not be able to find any anomaly !

I examined the patient on the 13th day after her new menses.

No pathology was seen. There was a normal triple line endometrium.

Does anybody has seen such a thing ?
