Partial hydatidiform mole occurred in a triplet pregnancy following an intracytoplasmic sperm injection procedure performed for tuboperitoneal and male factor infertility. Massive vaginal bleeding necessitated termination of the pregnancy via hysterotomy at the 17th gestational week. Twins attached with their cords to a normal placental mass were delivered, accompanied by an abnormal placental mass which was a partial hydatidiform mole. The patient’s next conception occurred spontaneously but was anembryonic. Histological examination of the curettage specimen was reported as a partial mole.
