     Gestational trophoblastic diseases show a spectrum from benign and easily treatable conditions to malignancy. The disease that remains in the most benign part of this distribution is the hydatiform mole known as "grape gestation" among the population. There are two types of mole hydatiform: partial and complete, and they are confronted at different rates around the world. In our study, we aimed to determine the incidence of hydatidiform mole at our hospital. 277 cases were included in our study that came to our department of pathology which consists of abortion and pregnancy termination materials between 2014-2016. Histopathologic examination revealed mole hydatidiform in 19 of 277 cases (6.9%). Despite the need for genetic analysis for definitive typing, 5.8% of cases were found to be partial mole and 1.1% complete according to histopathological findings. The etiologic factors of molar pregnancies have not been fully elucidated. We think that frequency studies can shed light on the future studies to determine these etiological factors.
