The incidence of pregnancy in perimenopausal women is extremely low, most pregnancies that occur ending in spontaneous abortion. We report on a 57-year-old patient with a complete hydatidiform mole to emphasise that this diagnosis should still be considered at an older age. %U http://www.ajol.info/index.php/sajog/article/view/70524
