“…Ultrasound Grayscale generally shows a well-defined, complex, echogenic, rounded mass separate from the placenta located near the umbilical cord insertion site and protruding into the amniotic cavity. 6 Doppler often demonstrates increased low resistance pulsatile flow within the hypoechoic areas which are actually large vascular channels. 7 The patient was referred to us early on the basis of a tentative diagnosis on an antenatal ultrasound and so with regular follow up lead to a benign course and preferred, safe outcome.…”

Chorioangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor of the placenta. Although commonly symptomless, larger tumors may cause serious maternal and fetal complications. We present a case of chorioangioma which was diagnosed as an incidental finding on ultrasound in third trimester and referred to us for management. Color Doppler signified fetal anemia as depicted by hyperdynamic middle cerebral artery flow. Elective casarean section was done and a healthy baby delivered without any adverse outcome.

Chorioangiomas are the commonest non-trophoblastic tumors of placenta with an estimated incidence of 1%. The majority of them are small, asymptomatic and only found by careful pathologic examination of the placenta. Occasionally, they can attain a large diameter (≥ 4-5cm) resulting in what is termed ‘giant chorioangioma’ with a high feto-maternal morbidity and mortality rates. We report a case of giant chorioangioma discovered accidentally during a routine obstetric ultrasound. Expectant management was adopted. Ultrasound follow-up revealed several fetal complications; an elective caesarean section was made giving birth to a premature new-born with enormous hepatosplenomegaly, died on the first day of life. Diagnosis and management of chorioangioma represents a stringent challenge for obstetricians due to its potentially serious antenatal complications.

“…The incidence of those tumors is considered to increase particularly with advanced maternal age, hypertension, female fetus, and diabetes (1). When they are small in size, they can generally go unnoticed and do not cause any complications.…”

Placental chorioangioma complicated with preterm delivery: A case report

et al. 2017

Chorioangioma is the most common tumor of the placenta. Since these tumors generally have small sizes, they cannot be detected during the routine ultrasonography (USG) examination and might not present any symptom. When they become larger in size, they can cause various maternal and fetal complications. We presented a patient whose obstetric USG examination revealed a placental mass compatible with chorioangioma and who had preterm delivery at the 34 th gestational week. The size of the mass increased rapidly in last four weeks. The pathological examination indicated that the placental mass was 9x8 cm in size and compatible with angiomatous type chorioangioma.
