Abstract

Placental chorioangioma is a benign vascular tumor. Lesions larger than 4 cm may cause fetal and maternal complications. Its association with disseminated neonatal hemangiomatosis is rarely described. We report a case of a large chorioangioma associated with an hydrops foetalis and disseminated neonatal hemangiomatosis. The relationship between placental chorioangioma and hemangioma is briefly discussed.
