Both abnormal and normal chorionic villi are present, indicating that this is a partial hydatidiform mole.
The abnormal villi show hydropic swelling, making them much larger than normal villi. They also have a loose, myxomatous and oedematous stroma.

Risk factor:
- Asian countries
- Women < 20 or > 40
Theory:
Partial hydatidiform moles usually contain some foetal cells but we do not have to recognize those.

Hello, are you sure about the partial mole? In the Ivett Skript I´ve read about a complete one:)
Well my teacher said partial, and the slide does show features of partial rather than complete.
