“…[3] The various factors linked with the pathogenesis include environmental factors like high altitude, hypoxic stimulus suggested by elevated nucleated red blood cells in the fetal circulation and vascular growth factors. [1] In most of the cases, chorangiomas are small or microscopic with no clinical significance.…”

“…[2] Large or giant chorangiomas is arbitrarily defined as measuring more than 4-5 cm in diameter. [3] These have been variably associated with a number of fetal complications including anemia, polyhydramnios, high output heart failure, hydrops fetalis and intrauterine growth restriction.

“…[2] Color Doppler imaging shows the extent of vascularity, continuity of vascular channels with fetal circulation and the presence of a single blood vessel feeding the lesion. [3] These features help to rule out other lesions without blood flow, such as placental hemorrhages and subchorionic hematomas. [3] In view of the association between placental chorangioma and dismal pregnancy outcome, close prenatal surveillance is desirable.…”

Placental chorangioma stands out to be most common benign tumour of the placenta with an incidence of 1% in all pregnancies. It is classified under vascular tumours of placenta. Usually they are small in size and often underdiagnosed. Because of this reason this entity is underreported. However, diagnosis of chorangioma placenta mandates a careful clinical examination of placenta. Often the larger sized chorangioma poses a challenge to the obstetricians, as it may lead to various complications. Here we are reporting and highlighting a case of large chorangioma with a successful pregnancy outcome in an elderly primigravida.

Placental chorioangioma was associated with the development of polyhydramnios, fetal growth restriction, and fetal distress in a significant number of cases. The size, vascularity, and location of the chorioangioma may be three independent factors of maternal and fetal complications. Any of these three factors can influence the outcome of pregnancy. Close antenatal examination should be routinely practiced to allow the timely diagnosis of early fetal heart failure.
