| Summary: | The human placenta is a villous hemochorial structure. It is attached to the uterine wall and establishes connection between the mother and the fetus through the umbilical cord and thus plays a critical role in maternal fetal transfer. It is developed from two sources: fetal chorion frondosum and maternal decidua basalis. Various abnormal conditions have been reported with the placenta and the placental chorioangioma is one of them. Chorioangioma of placenta is the commonest benign tumor of the placenta. It consists of a benign angioma arising from the chorionic tissue. It has been found to be associated with many serious complications such as nonimmune hydrops, congenital abnormalities, hemolytic anemia, polyhydramnios, IUGR, and IUFD. |
