==Overview==
==Overview==
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasias  arises from the [[trophoblast]]ic tissue, which provide nutrients to the embryo and develop into a large part of the placenta.On gross pathology, dark, shaggy, focally hemorrhagic & friable/necrotic-appearing, and invasive border are characteristic findings of gestational trophoblastic neoplasias. The pathophysiology of gestational trophoblastic neoplasias depends on the histological subtype.
[[Pregnancy]] occurs when an [[Ovum|egg]], which is released from the [[ovary]] during [[ovulation]], is fertilized by a [[sperm]]. Human [[pregnancy]] takes approximately 40 weeks. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia arises from the [[trophoblast]]ic tissue, which provides nutrients to the [[embryo]] and develops into a large part of the [[placenta]]. Invasive mole is basically a [[benign]] [[tumor]] which arises from the invasion of the [[myometrium]] of a [[hydatidiform mole]]. Choriocarcinoma is a [[malignant]] [[tumor]] of the [[Trophoblast|trophoblastic]] [[epithelium]]. Placental-site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), a rare [[tumor]], arises from the [[implantation]] site of [[placenta]]. Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is basically a rare variant of placental-site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) which arises from the [[malignant]] transformation of [[Chorion|chorionic]]-type intermediate [[Trophoblast|trophoblastic]] [[Cell (biology)|cells]]. Invasive mole is usually [[Ploidy|diploid]] but can also be [[Aneuploidy|aneuploid]] in [[karyotype|karyotype.]] Choriocarcinoma has an [[Aneuploidy|aneuploid]] [[karyotype]] and majority of the cases have a [[Y chromosome]].
==Pathophysiology==
===Physiology===
The normal physiology of [[pregnancy]] can be understood as follows:
* [[Pregnancy]] occurs when an [[Ovum|egg]], which is released from the [[ovary]] during [[ovulation]], is fertilized by a [[sperm]].
* After [[ejaculation]], the released [[sperm]] must spend some time in the female reproductive tract and undergo [[capacitation]], which is basically the acquisition of [[fertilization]] capability.<ref name="pmid14882325">{{cite journal |vauthors=CHANG MC |title=Fertilizing capacity of spermatozoa deposited into the fallopian tubes |journal=Nature |volume=168 |issue=4277 |pages=697–8 |date=October 1951 |pmid=14882325 |doi= |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid14895481">{{cite journal |vauthors=AUSTIN CR |title=Observations on the penetration of the sperm in the mammalian egg |journal=Aust J Sci Res B |volume=4 |issue=4 |pages=581–96 |date=November 1951 |pmid=14895481 |doi= |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid12993150">{{cite journal |vauthors=AUSTIN CR |title=The capacitation of the mammalian sperm |journal=Nature |volume=170 |issue=4321 |pages=326 |date=August 1952 |pmid=12993150 |doi= |url=}}</ref>

* Cortical reaction (changes in the [[oocyte]] [[Cell membrane|membrane]]) prevents any further penetration by another [[sperm]].
* Unification of the two [[Ploidy|haploid]] [[Cell nucleus|nuclei]] (one each from the [[sperm]] and [[Ovum|egg]]) marks the completion of [[Fertilization\|fertilization]], resulting in the formation of a [[Ploidy|diploid]] [[zygote]].

==Pathophysiology==
A [[hydatidiform mole]] is characterized by a [[conceptus]] of [[hyperplasia|hyperplastic]] [[trophoblast]]ic tissue attached to the [[placenta]]. The conceptus does not contain the [[inner cell mass]] (the mass of cells inside the primordial embryo that will eventually give rise to the fetus).
The hydatidiform mole can be of two types: a ''complete mole'', in which the abnormal embryonic tissue is derived from the father only, and a ''partial mole'', in which the abnormal tissue is derived from both parents.
* '''Complete moles''' usually occur when an empty ovum is fertilized by a sperm that then duplicates its own DNA (a process called ''androgenesis''). A 46, XY genotype may occur when 2 sperm (one 23, X and the other 23, Y) fertilize an empty egg.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Woo J, Hsu C, Fung L, Ma H |title=Partial hydatidiform mole: ultrasonographic features |journal=Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol |volume=23 |issue=2 |pages=103-7 |year=1983 |pmid=6578773}}</ref> Their DNA is purely paternal in origin (since all chromosomes are derived from the sperm), and is diploid. Ninety percent are 46,XX, and 10% are 46,XY. In a complete mole, the fetus fails to develop.
* '''Partial moles''' can occur if a normal [[haploid]] ovum is fertilized by two sperm, or if fertilized by one sperm, if the paternal chromosomes become duplicated. Thus their DNA is both maternal and paternal in origin. They can be triploid (e.g. 69 XXX, 69 XXY) or even tetraploid.
Choriocarcinoma of the [[placenta]] during pregnancy is preceded by:
* [[Hydatidiform mole]] (50% of cases)
* [[Spontaneous abortion]] (20% of cases)
* [[Ectopic pregnancy]] (2% of cases)
* Normal term pregnancy (20-30% of cases)

Overview

Pregnancy occurs when an egg, which is released from the ovary during ovulation, is fertilized by a sperm. Human pregnancy takes approximately 40 weeks. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia arises from the trophoblastic tissue, which provides nutrients to the embryo and develops into a large part of the placenta. Invasive mole is basically a benign tumor which arises from the invasion of the myometrium of a hydatidiform mole. Choriocarcinoma is a malignant tumor of the trophoblastic epithelium. Placental-site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), a rare tumor, arises from the implantation site of placenta. Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is basically a rare variant of placental-site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) which arises from the malignant transformation of chorionic-type intermediate trophoblastic cells. Invasive mole is usually diploid but can also be aneuploid in karyotype. Choriocarcinoma has an aneuploid karyotype and majority of the cases have a Y chromosome.

Pathophysiology

Physiology

The normal physiology of pregnancy can be understood as follows:

Pathogenesis

Pathogenesis of each sub-type of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia is explained as follows:

Invasive Mole

Choriocarcinoma

Placental-site Trophoblastic Tumor (PSTT)

Epithelioid Trophoblastic Tumor (ETT)

  • Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is basically a rare variant of placental-site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT).
  • It arises from the malignant transformation of chorionic-type intermediate trophoblastic cells.[27]
  • Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) can clinically present as benign or malignant.[28]
  • Majority of the cases of epithelioid trophoblastic tumors (ETT) present years after full-term gestations.[27][29]

Genetics

Associated Conditions

Conditions associated with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia include:

Gross pathological findings of the sub-types of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia are as follows:
