Coexistence of complete mole and a live fetus is uncommon (1:22,000-100,000), more so with euploidy. ⋯ Detailed anatomic and molecular studies demonstrated a complete mole resulting from confined placental mosaicism, with molar tissue showing a single paternal allele at 8/8 informative loci, all shared with the fetus, thus this coexistent molar pregnancy was not that of a separate conceptus.
