Cesarean scar molar pregnancy is extremely rare, but the incidence has been rising due to the continuous increase in the rate of cesarean section. The presence of a hydatidiform mole in the scar left on the uterus by the procedure may lead to severe complications. We performed a literature review and found only seven reported cases of cesarean scar molar pregnancy. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are extremely important for the patients' prognosis.
