“…While placental chorioangioma incidence is 1%, the incidence of chorioangiomas that are larger than 4 cm is between 1:500-1:16000 (8). Moreover, female fetus is considered to be a factor increasing the placental chorioangioma incidence (1).…”

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.

Рlacental chorioangiomas: diagnosis and management

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Four cases of pregnancies with nontrophoblastic placental tumor – chorioangioma are presented in this article. Clinical symptoms depend on tumors size, vascularisation and histological types (angiomatoid, cellular and degenerative). Small tumors with poor vascularisation are essentially asymptomatic. Large ones can act as peripheral arteriovenosus shunts resulting in fetal functional disorders (polycythemia, hypervolemia, ventriculomegaly) associated with acute polyhydramnion, premature labor, maternal and neonatal complications. The role of ultrasound and color Doppler examinations, invasive procedures (amniocentesis) in the diagnosis of chorioangioma and management of such pregnancies are discussed.

“…In most cases, the size of the tumor stabilizes, and thus it stays asymptomatic, or else it grows and causes maternal and fetal consequences. Maternal complications include bleeding, preeclampsia, retroplacental hematoma, hemolytic anemia, and disseminated intravascular coagulation, 7 but the main complications are mostly fetal and usually manifest as heart failure, polyhydramnios (14%–28%), intrauterine growth restriction (30%), and prematurity (40%), in addition to the risks of anemia, thrombocytopenia, and in utero death 8 …”
