​A 36-year-old woman with a diagnosis of hydatidiform mole, a non-neoplastic gestational trophoblastic disease, was treated successfully with a surgical uterine evacuation. Patient follow-up with serial serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels shows, after several weeks of decreasing hCG concentrations, a persistently unchanged low hCG during the last two measurements (50 IU/L).
