Hydatis comes from Greek meaning watery cyst and is a type of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) that occurs when an abnormal fertilization event leads to the growth of abnormal tissue within the uterus.
This tissue is characterized by the presence of swollen, fluid-filled villi that resemble grape-like clusters. Hydatidiform moles are classified into two types: complete and partial, based on the degree of abnormality and genetic composition.
