Conversion of a complete hydatidiform mole into choriocarcinoma is indicated by all, EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: Suburethral Nodule
Description: Suburethral Nodule is an unusual indicator of postmolar choriocarcinoma. All others are very well seen in the conversion of a complete hydatidiform mole into choriocarcinoma. Suburethral nodule may be a manifestation of vaginal metastasis from choriocarcinoma. Metastatic choriocarcinoma is however seen in only about 4% of patients after evacuation of a complete mole and vaginal metastasis that may present with suburethral nodule occur in only 30% of patients with such metastatic disease. Hence it is an unusual indicator.
