Pairojkul C Ectopic or extrauterine decidual transformation is regularly associated with pregnancy.
This phenomenon has been observed most often in the ovary and cervix. Sporadic reports have
documented decidua formation of peritoneal surfaces, lymph nodes and other organs in pelvic and
abdominal cavity. Molar pregnancy-associated ectopic decidua has never been documented. We
report the case of ectopic decidua at posterior surface of uterus, near the cui de sac, in a 45-year-old
woman with molar pregnancy. The article review reveals that it is the first report of molar
pregnancy-associated ectopic decidua.
