AB  - Gestational  trophoblastic  disease  (GTD)  is  the  term  used  to  encompass  a  group  of  tumors  typified  by  abnormal  trophoblast  proliferation.  Trophoblast  produces  human  chorionic  gonadotropin  (hCG).  Thus,  the  measurement  of  this  peptide  hormone  in  serum  is  essential  for  GTD  diagnosis,  management,  and  surveillance.  GTD  histologically  is  divided  into  hydatidiform  moles,  which  are  characterized  by  the  presence  of  villi,  and  nonmolar  trophoblastic  malignant  neoplasms,  which  lack  villi.
