Abstract/
Summary |
Molar pregnancy, also known as hydatidiform mole, can be divided into partial and complete mole. These moles are caused by abnormal fertilisation. The incidence rate of molar pregnancy in some countries in Asia such as Japan, India and Thailand is higher than North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Morphological and histopathological examinations are commonly applied to identify hydatidiform moles. The histopathological examinations of molar pregnancy remain a challenge to expert pathologists. In this paper, we describe a tool developed to support the pathologists in their examination, referred herein as the hydatidiform mole analysis tool (HYMAT). The tool is based on anomaly detection approach aimed at analysing the key anomalous morphological features of villi such as red blood cells, stroma and trophoblast and villi size. |
