Classical hydatidiform mole is a type of gestational trophoblastic disease caused by abnormal fertilization of the egg by two sperm, leading to a diploid (2n) conceptus with a swollen, hydropic placenta and a lack of embryonic development. this abnormal fertilization results in overgrowth of the trophoblastic cells, which can lead to the formation of cysts in the placenta and uterus. if left untreated, the condition can lead to severe bleeding, preterm labor, and even death.
