Chorangioma placentae

چکیده
Chorangioma of the placenta is a rare tumor with a frequency of about 1%, which usually presents as a solitary nodule or, less frequently, as multiple nodules. It is found on the fetal surface of the placenta or in placental parenchyma. Most chorangiomas are small and possess no clinical significance. On the contrary, clinically significant chorangiomas, greater then 5 cm or multiple, may be associated with pregnancy complications. The case presented is one of the uncommon presentations of chorangioma, in which its presence and size were not related to a pregnancy disorders or developmental anomalies of the fetus.

Hypoxia can be of different types and each type influences the vascularity of the villi, especially terminal villi, in its own way. In this study, we attempted to identify villous vascular changes in a group of term placentae from mothers with diseases complicating pregnancy. Ch...

متن کاملChorangiocarcinoma in a term placenta with postpartum pulmonary metastasis: a case report and review of the literature
Chorangiocarcinoma is an extremely rare primary placental neoplasm, with only five cases reported in the literature (Table 1). Some researchers considered it as a bona fide chorangiocarcinoma, but most cases described a chorangioma with abnormal trophoblastic proliferation. In spite of atypia in cytology, marked mitosis and tumor necrosis, chorangiocarcinoma was always reported benign. No metas...
