A human zoomyle refers to a variety of human malformations or "monsters", including uterine moles (an abnormal development of the placenta during pregnancy; also known as, hydatidiform mole).

The mole may consist of multiple cysts which develop in the placenta so that it appears like a large bunch of grapes. One complication is an invasive mole, in which the abnormal placenta penetrates through the wall of the uterus and damages it to the point where a hysterectomy is necessary. More seriously, four percent of women develop cancer in the abnormal tissue (choriocarcinoma).

This is a term which was coined by Geoffrey Saint-Hilaire (c. 1857) for a variety of human-body malformations.
