molar pregancy - neela

FA 15, page 580
complete mole/; converts to chorioca( 2%) , then it says risk of malignant trophoblastic disease( 15-20%)
Could someone clarify this? Thanks

I assume that 80 to 85% of wrong karyotypes will be expelled at an early stage.

15 to 20% will go into GTD

2% of which are choriocarcinoma.

Maybe an obstetrician can add more.....
