Abstract

Chorioangioma is a placental hemangioma is a common, non-trophoblastic benign vascular placental tumour of primitive chorionic mesenchyme. The size of the tumour is important. Smaller tumours are clinically insignificant. Giant chorioangioma more than 4 cm has higher risk of maternal and foetal complications. Early diagnosis is done by imaging techniques. Placental lesions detected on sonography necessitate close surveillance of these pregnancies because of the poor outcome ofpregnancy. We present a 32-year primigravida with placental chorioangioma who went in spontaneous labour and delivered a male baby. The baby was referred to higher centre for further evaluation and revealed mild cardiomegaly. The histopathological examination of placenta helped in the diagnosis of placental chorioangioma.
