We present two pregnancies associated with normal live births and the unusual concomitance of chorangioma and placental vascular malformation with mesenchymal hyperplasia. The enlarged placenta had the characteristic findings of chorangioma, dilated and varicose chorionic vessels and multiple vesicle-like villi containing hyaluronic acid. The vesicle-like villi showed diploid cellular DNA conte...

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...

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 as...

Pedunculated chorangioma is extremely rare type of chorangioma. To the best of our knowledge, no case has been reported in Indian literature. We report one such rare case in a twenty two year old primi gravida who delivered a full term live female baby by lower section caesarian section (LSCS). Gross examination revealed a nodular mass attached to the placenta by a pedicle. Histopathological ex...

OBJECTIVES Placenta or placental chorangioma could be the origin site of infantile haemangioma since they share various histochemical and genetic characteristics with placental vascular tissue. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between chorangiomas and infantile haemangiomas in singleton and multiple pregnancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS An informative questionnaire...
