The abnormal villi show hydropic swelling, making them much larger than normal villi. They also have a loose, myxomatous and oedematous stroma. Alternatively, it's a complete mole because of lack of foetal elements and the relatively severe atypia. '''Diagnosis''': Partial or complete hydatidiform mo...")
