Familial Recurrent Hydatidiform Moles is a rare condition where patients have an inherited predisposition to have molar pregnancies. Molar pregnancy is an abnormal form of pregnancy in which a non-viable fertilized egg implants in the uterus and fail to survive. A molar pregnancy is a gestational trophoblastic disease growing into a mass in the uterus that swollen chorionic villi. Here a case of a young woman present with a recessive intron 7 mutation of the NLRP7 gene this led her to have two hydatidiform moles. Due to the future reproductive implications this condition has, an appropriate counseling about these issues ought to be offered even if there are not enough evidence about this topic.
