Coexistent molar pregnancy refers to an extremely rare situation where there is a molar pregnancy occurring simultaneously with normal intra-uterine pregnancy.

Epidemiology

The estimated incidence is at ~1:10,000-100,000 gestations (for a complete hydatidiform mole and a normal pregnancy) .

Treatment and prognosis 

Most cases suffer severe complications, such as pre-eclampsia, abortion, and preterm delivery, or termination immediately after diagnosis.
