Placental mesenchymal dysplasia, a rare pathology

      We report a case of a 16 year old primigravida referred to our center with a previous diagnosis of molar pregnancy and a 160/100 mmHg blood pressure at 28 weeks of gestation. On examination, she was noted to have 41 cm symphysis-fundal height, abdominal tenderness, diffuse bilateral edema in her lower extremities and hyperreflexia.
