RATIONALE: A pregnancy with incomplete mole is very rare case. Hydatidiform mole (HM) with live fetus is associated with a risk of a wide variety to maternal and fetal complications. The incidence of a normal live fetus and an incomplete mole such as the case we describe is extremely rare. PATIENT CONCERN: We report a case of multiparous 34-year-old at Culiacan Mexico woman with incomplete mole coexisting with normal fetus, pregnant 35.3 weeks who presented anemia grade II. DIAGNOSIS: The initial diagnosis of the mole was by ultrasound. INTERVENTIONS: KERR-type cesarean section and bilateral tubal occlusion. The newborn was morphologically normal, and she did not require intervention or treatment. OUTCOMES: The newborn was feminine, morphologically normal, weighing 2380 g and 47 cm, APGAR score 8 to 9, delivered prematurely, and there was a large placental plate. The blood loss on surgery was estimated at 1000 mL. Histopathology report of an incomplete hydatidiform mole, negative for malignancy. Histopathology diagnostic was confirmed by immunohistochemistry staining for p57KIP2. LESSONS: Although the incidence of this pregnancy is very rare, early recognition, diagnosis and divulge of the cases of medical community is very important for patient care.

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: Las quemaduras son la forma más severa de estrés que el cuerpo puede sufrir; pueden generarse por diferentes agentes térmicos y químicos. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 25 años, con dolor intenso en la región genital de 12 horas de evolución, secundario a la introducción en la vagina de una piedra de alumbre. Se le hicieron múltiples irrigaciones con solución salina al 0.9% sin obtener el resto de la piedra de alumbre. Se le aplicó sulfadiazina de plata en la cavidad vaginal cada 12 horas, óvulos vaginales de ketanserina, miconazol y metronidazol cada 8 horas, ketorolaco por vía oral 10 mg cada 8 horas. Durante su estancia hospitalaria tuvo buena evolución, con disminución de la inflamación en la zona genital, epitelización adecuada. Al tercer día se dio de alta del hospital con cita para valoración a los siete días. CONCLUSIÓN: El tratamiento de las quemaduras en el área genital, por agentes químicos, tiene como piedra angular la identificación del agente causante de la lesión que permita actuar de forma inmediata y evitar las secuelas físicas, sexuales y psicológicas mediante el lavado exhaustivo con solución o agua estéril para remover el agente causal y disminuir que continúe actuando en el sitio afectado.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Burns are the most severe form of stress that the body can suffer; they can be caused by various thermal and chemical agents. CLINICAL CASE: A 25-year-old female patient presented with severe genital pain of 12 hours' duration, secondary to the introduction of an alum stone into the vagina. She underwent several irrigations with 0.9% saline without obtaining the rest of the alum stone. She was given vaginal silver sulfadiazine every 12 hours, vaginal ketanserin, miconazole and metronidazole every 8 hours and oral ketorolac 10 mg every 8 hours. During her stay in hospital, she progressed well, with a decrease in genital inflammation and adequate epithelialisation. She was discharged on the third day with an appointment for a seven-day follow-up. CONCLUSION: The management of genital burns caused by chemical agents is based on the identification of the agent causing the lesion, which allows immediate action and prevents physical, sexual and psychological sequelae by thorough washing with sterile solution or water to remove the causative agent and reduce its continued action in the affected area.
