An unusual case of recurrent benign trophoblastic growth occurring for the fourth time in a gravida 4, para 0, 30‐year‐old woman is reported. Prophylactic chemotherapy was instituted to avert the disaster again, without success. The question of her future obstetric outcome poses a formidable dilemma and no radical measures could be undertaken, as the patient hoped for a normal pregnancy.
