| Summary: | Chorioangioma also known as placental hemangioma is a common, non-trophoblastic benign vascular placental tumor of primitive chorionic mesenchyme. The size of the tumor is important. Smaller tumors are clinically insignificant. Giant chorioangioma more than 4 cm are associated with maternal and fetal complications. Imaging techniques help in early diagnosis. Placental lesions detected on sonography necessitate close surveillance of these pregnancies because of the poor outcome of pregnancy. We present a 25-year primigravida with placental chorioangioma who went in spontaneous labor and delivered a female baby. The baby died within an hour of birth. The histopathological examination of placenta helped in the diagnosis of placental chorioangioma. |
