REIS, Ana Paula et al. Giant placental chorioangioma and polyhydramnios. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.4, pp.332-335. ISSN 1646-5830.
Chorioangioma is the most common benign tumor of the placenta, occurring in 1% of all pregnancies. Small chorioangiomas tend to remain asymptomatic. Giant chorioangiomas have been associated with a number of severe fetal complications and high perinatal mortality. We report a case of a giant chorioangioma diagnosed in the third trimester of pregnancy. The size of tumor and the amniotic fluid index increased from the time of diagnosis to the end of pregnancy. A term labour was uncomplicated and a healthy newborn was delivered. Macroscopic and microscopic examination of the placenta was consistent with placental chorioangioma.
