Gestational trophoblastic diseases – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/207290928

A group of conditions characterised as rare, pregnancy-related tumours that appear when cells in the uterus start to grow out of control. The cells that form gestational trophoblastic tumours are called trophoblasts and come from tissue that grows to form the placenta during pregnancy.
