Summary: A case of ectopic vaginal trophoblast in association with a blighted ovum showing hydropic degeneration is presented. This combination satisfied the histological criteria of Szulman and Surti for inclusion as a partial mole. Subsequent follow‐up revealed non‐progression of the condition. The problems of obtaining a satisfactory classification for proliferative trophoblastic lesions are outlined.
