Prenatal diagnosis of placental chorioangioma: our experience

Minerva Ginecol. 2005 Dec;57(6):649-54.

Abstract

Placental chorioangioma is the most common benign tumor of placenta. The relationship of vascularized chorioangiomas to adverse pregnancy outcome is well recognized. We report 3 cases of placental chorioangioma. Hypervascularization of the lesions in all patients and the immune hydrops with adverse fetal outcome in 2 cases are the complications of our mini-series. Ultrasonography and Doppler ultrasonography findings were useful in establishing the prenatal diagnosis and the prognosis.
