A chorionic bump (CB) is a focal irregular bulge in the surrounding choriodecidual due to hematoma. The incidence of CB is between 1.5 and 7 per 1000 pregnancies. The presence of a chorionic bump is associated with a significantly higher risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. CB often decreases in size with time and rarely persists beyond the first trimester. Our case report presents and discusses a chorionic bump diagnosed in the third trimester. To our knowledge, this is the first case of CB to reported in the third trimester.
