What is the term used to describe the gestational sac surrounded by a blood clot and retained in the tube?

  • A. A carneous mole.
  • B. A hydatidiform mole.
  • C. A vesicular mole.
  • D. A chorionic mole.
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: a carneous mole. A carneous mole occurs when a gestational sac is surrounded by a blood clot and retained in the tube. Choice B, a hydatidiform mole, is incorrect as it refers to an abnormal pregnancy characterized by the presence of hydropic chorionic villi. Choice C, a vesicular mole, is also incorrect as it is another term for a complete hydatidiform mole. Choice D, a chorionic mole, is not a recognized medical term and is therefore incorrect.
