Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) comprises a spectrum of interrelated placental trophoblastic lesions that vary in predilection for spontaneous resolution, local invasion, and metastasis. All GTD variants arise following an antecedent pregnancy, usually, but not always, the one temporally related. 1 Despite extensive epidemiological data spanning at least 50 years, the extent to which genetic and environmental factors including race, age, and geographic location influence the variably in reported differences in incidence rates for GTD throughout the world is uncertain. 2 While multiple factors contribute, many of the differences in reported incidence rates can be accounted for by the following observations:
