The hydatidiform mole in its partial or total form is a common cause of thyrotoxycosis during pregnancy. The structural homology of the placental hormone choriogonadotropin (hCG) and the hormone thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) produced by the pituitary gland is the cause. The diagnosis of hyperthyroidism secondary to Gestational trophoblastic diseases is made in the face of low or undetectable TSH, high T4l compared to high hCG level and a suggestive image on pelvic ultrasound. The clinical signs relating to thyropathies are often absent. This is a resolving table after uterine extraction.
