Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) comprises a heterogeneous group of placental disorders characterized by abnormal trophoblastic proliferation. The reported incidence of GTD ranges from 0.2 to 5.8 per 1,000 pregnancies, while ectopic pregnancies account for approximately 0.64% of all pregnancies. The coexistence of ectopic pregnancy with molar pathology is exceptionally uncommon. Hydatidiform mole occurs in about 1 in 2,000 pregnancies, with most cases arising within the uterine cavity.
