Chorioangioma placenta- a case report

Abstract

Chorioangioma placenta is the commonest
benign growth of the placenta. It is a
benign angioma arising from the chorionic
tissue. It is also known as haemangioma.
Unfavourable effects on mother
and fetus are more with large chorioangiomas
( 5 cm). With the advent of ultrasonogram
and Doppler, it is detected
early in the antenatal period itself. We
present a large chorioangioma placenta
with antepartum haemorrhage and polyhydramnios.
