A CASE REPORT ON MOLAR PREGNANCY WITH NEGATIVE URINE PREGNANCY TEST - THE HOOK EFFECT

Vesicular Mole is a benign neoplasm of the trophoblast with malignant potential. It is diagnosed by clinical findings, hCG titre and ultrasound. Urine Pregnancy Test - UPT (sandwich technique) may be negative with excessive levels of hCG. As false negative urine pregnancy test is common with very high levels of beta - hCG, good clinical examination and quantitative beta hCG should be relied upon to diagnose molar pregnancy.
