Correct Answer � B
Explanation

Ans. B
The image shown is the characteristic “snowstorm” appearance seen in complete mole.
It is due to an echogenic uterine mass that has numerous anechoic cystic spaces.
Notably, a fetus and amniotic sac are absent.
Snowstorms in radiology:
-
Complete hydatidiform mole (ultrasound)
-
Extracapsular breast implant rupture (ultrasound)
-
Thyroid pulmonary metastases (chest radiograph)
