Atypical cellular chorangioma, despite concerning features like rapid cell growth and cell death, is a benign tumor. This finding is based on a review of a unique case and existing literature.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Chorangiomas are rare placental tumors.
  • Atypical cellular chorangioma presents with concerning histopathologic features.
  • Distinguishing benign from malignant placental tumors is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report an unusual case of large atypical cellular chorangioma.
  • To evaluate the clinical course associated with this tumor.
  • To determine the benign nature of atypical cellular chorangioma.

Main Methods:

  • Histopathologic examination of a large atypical cellular chorangioma.
  • Review of clinical data for mother and infant.
  • Literature search for similar reported cases.

Main Results:

  • The case presented a large atypical cellular chorangioma with abundant mitoses and focal necrosis.
  • The clinical course for both mother and infant was unremarkable, apart from premature birth.
  • Similar cases in literature also indicate a benign tumor behavior.

Conclusions:

  • Atypical cellular chorangioma, despite its worrisome microscopic appearance, is a benign tumor.
  • The histopathologic features should not be misconstrued as indicative of malignancy.
  • Further studies may clarify the specific behavior and management of this rare tumor.
