Gestational trophoblastic disease is any type of abnormal proliferation of trophoblasts during pregnancy. Types include:

• abnormal placenta, mostly due to abnormal fertilization
  • hydatidiform mole (HM)
• frank malignant tumors of trophoblast
  • invasive mole, choriocarcinoma (CCA)
  • placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT)
  • epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT)
• not true neoplasms, representing abnormally formed placentas
  • exaggerated placenta site (EPS)
  • placental site nodule (PSN)
