The pathogenesis is unique in that the maternal tumor arises from pregnancy tissue. In terms of occurrence, it mainly affects women of reproductive age. In our case report, a 53-year-old female patient was diagnosed with molar pregnancy as the background of her perimenopausal bleeding disorder. Mola is a high-risk disease because the symptoms can be deceiving and may be very similar to those of an incomplete miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or perimenopausal bleeding. Appropriate diagnosis is key to terminating the pregnancy as soon as possible. The purpose of our case report is to draw attention to the atypical appearance of molar pregnancy; in relation to our perimenopausal female patient, we review the basic principles of treatment of hydatidiform mole and present the diagnostic and therapeutic management of a successfully completed case.
