Among the morphologic mimics of hydatidiform moles, the chorionic vesicle of early first-trimester pregnancy has received scant attention. The chorionic vesicle is the stage of the implanted blastocyst in which the cytotrophoblastic shell is circumferentially lined by primary and secondary villi and envelops the notochord stage embryo, yolk sac, and amniotic sac, ∼5 to 6 weeks since the last menstrual period. Miscarriage specimens at this early gestational age that contain an intact chorionic vesicle may be misinterpreted as a complete hydatidiform mole because of its large size, cistern-like cavity, and circumferentially radiating villi and trophoblast, particularly so when embryonic tissue is absent.

Introduction: Recent evidence supports the - rare - occurrence of vertical transplacental SARS-CoV-2 transmission. We previously determined that placental expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the SARS-CoV-2 receptor, and associated viral cell entry regulators is upregulated by hypoxia. In the present study, we utilized a clinically relevant model of SARS-CoV-2-associated chronic histiocytic intervillositis/massive perivillous fibrin deposition (CHIV/MPFVD) to test the hypothesis that placental hypoxia may facilitate placental SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Persistent trophoblast after ectopic pregnancy has been demonstrated at the surgical site or as peritoneal implants. A 37-year-old woman (G5P2) experienced persistently low levels of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) after surgical treatment for an interstitial pregnancy. Evaluation for persistent trophoblast, gestational trophoblastic neoplasm and heterophilic antibodies was negative.

Article Synopsis
  • For years, the importance of changes in the uterine extracellular matrix (ECM) during dog pregnancy was overlooked, but new research shows that free-floating embryos influence ECM composition.
  • The study revealed that specific genes related to structural functions and cell communication are affected by the presence of these embryos, which may facilitate trophoblast invasion and uterine function.
  • Results indicate that while early pregnancy shows minor ECM modifications, significant remodeling happens post-implantation to prepare the uterus for fetal development and membrane release, highlighting the dog's potential as a model for studying similar processes in other species.
