“…In fact, the evolution of IH and placentae-rapid proliferation followed by gradual involution-are similar. In accordance with this hypothesis, cases of neonatal haemangiomatosis associated with placental haemangioma (chorangioma) have been reported [29].…”

• Infantile haemangiomas (IH) are the most common tumours of infancy. Within a very short period after its discovery and long before the publication of randomized controlled trials, propranolol has become the number one agent for the treatment of complicated IH. What is New: • We report IH treatment recommendations of an international, interdisciplinary team of experts, based on an up-to-date review of the literature.

“…More rare complications such as pre-eclampsia, maternal ovarian luteinized cysts, fetal malformations and neonatal haemangiomatosis have been described. 7,8,1 Ultrasound with Color Doppler Imaging (CDI) remains the investigation of choice for prenatal diagnosis of chorioangioma and follows up in case of expectative management, as was in the present case. It appears as a well circumscribed echogenic mass different from the rest of placenta.…”

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.

“…Most infantile hemangiomas are caused by a hyperactive vascular endothelial growth factor (15), which is triggered by peripartal hypoxia. In diffuse hemangiomatoses, endothelial cell emboli arising from placental hemangiomas (chorangiomas) are a causative factor (16). A difference to other vascular tumors that is of importance for the differential diagnosis is that "genuine" hemangiomas express the glucose transport-1 protein (GLUT-1), which can be confirmed immunohistologically.…”
