A 30-year-old G2P2 woman (i.e., she has had two pregnancies and two deliveries after 24 weeks) experienced an episode of amenorrhea. While her home pregnancy test was negative, serum hCG was persistently elevated (range 90-110 mlU/ml). Ultrasonographic evaluation of her uterus showed an echogenic mass in the corpus measuring approximately 1 cm. She underwent a hysterectomy. What is the diagnosis?
